Landscape Orientation
I also suffer from the same problem reported by "Frustrated" in part 4 of the
question posted 11/17/2004. It is indeed most irritating when preparing or receiving reports compiled in either MS Word or MS Excel, containing both landscape and portrait pages, to find the landscape pages oriented incorrectly, so that the page headings appear on the right (relative to the portrait pages) instead of the left. Before making a large number of bound copies of a report, I have to remember to extract all the landscape pages and rotate them by 180 deg. before replacing. I have followed Suzanne Barnhill's reply, but no change in Microsoft or HP's settings or options has had any effect. Can Suzanne or anyone elaborate with more explicit guidance, e.g. which printers or drivers give the correct orientation? I am currently using HP Deskjet 995 and HP Officejet 5610, but all printers I have used seem to have this "feature". HP have so far been unable to help. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: 1.

It seems to be tied to a return charater (which is formatted) but I can't delete the return - I've tried. 3. Is there a way to add a pop-up box to an embedded document telling my readers how to open it? 4. Finally, how do I get back-to-front landscaped pages to print correctly (so that the top is always towards the margin) on duplex printers? This is not meant to go in book form, so I don't need to insert blank pages or book-layout pages. Because this will be distributed electronically, its problematical to assume that everyone will end up with the same page breaks... any ideals the best way to handle this? If necessay, I could make it a book layout with normal 1" margins, right? Thanks so much for all your help - you've really saved me before, I'm hoping you can help again. |

Landscape Orientation
Many thanks Suzanne. My HP Laserjet 1100 also printed landscape pages
correctly. It would appear that the problem lies with HP Deskjet drivers. Chris "Suzanne S.

Landscape Orientation
Interestingly, this can vary with the driver. I had a DeskJet 820Cse
(subsequently handed down to my husband) that output landscape pages one way; when I updated the driver, they were the other way. What I don't know was whether there was a similar rotation of the portrait pages (though it's hard to believe they would have been ejected bottom first) because at that time I was printing almost exclusively landscape pages (charts, mostly) on that printer (everything else on the LaserJet). -- Suzanne S.
