Dear All

I am reading a group of text files from IntermediateFolder
and converting to word document and setting

font name as courier new ,font size 8 and orientation as landscape.The first
word document orientation is not landscape and rest of the documents
orientation is landscape.This happens only for first document only.If I
interchange the order of the files again the first word document orientation
is not landscape but the rest of the documents are in landscape.

Below you can find my code.The GetOrientation is the method which is reading
the config file and returning a string

When I debugged the dll it is showing me setting as landscape and it is not
setting it for first word document.

I am using office object library 12.0 and my os is windows xp professional
service pack 2 and word 2007 installed on my machine.I am trying to set the
format as 2000 as word 2007 is not available on production box.

I am trying to open all these documents on word 2000 and first one is not
able to set landscape format and rest

of the documents are able to do this.This application works fine on word
2007.What I mean is it opens all the documents correctly with landsacpe
format.the problem is when opening in word 2000 the first document is not

setting the landscape format correctly.I have used the

object FileFormat = WdSaveFormat.wdFormatDocument;//for saving to word 2000
and finally calling the saveas method.Can anyone Please tell me what is the
problem in my code.urgent help required.




Here is the code(Language c#,os:windows xp professional service pack
2,visual studio 2008 ,dotnetframework 2.0

word object library 12.0,word 2007 on my machine)
