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

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.

1. The problem here may be a result of the problem described in (2). You
may
not be unlinking the right sections.

2. There *is* a section 3, but it is probably a Continuous section that
has
no header or footer. If you've changed the number of columns, that could
be
one reason for it. It's easier to see section breaks in Normal view. You
can
deal with numbering problems in Continuous sections through Insert |
Page
Numbers | Format, and "Link to Previous" shouldn't be an issue because
the
section you want to unlink is the following (landscape) one.

3. I'm not sure I understand the question.

4. The proper orientation of landscape pages is with the top always to
the
left (outside on verso pages, inside on recto pages). Some printers get
this
right; others don't. Sometimes a different printer driver or a different
setting in Word's Print Options dialog will help.

Hi all:

I've got several questions on a short doc I've been asked to edit (its
about
60 pages long).

Please keep in mind that I'm trying to format a document converted
from
Word
2003 to Word 97 so I can work with it in Word 2000.... I'm sure that
has
created issues in and of itself. I'm doing this because I've never
figured
out how to convert docs from 2003 to 2000 - its pretty much re-create
it
from
scratch or nothing

Anyway....

1. The document includes both landscape and portrait orientation in
about
6
sections. I followed instructions to remove the links between
sections,
yet
whenever I change the landscaped header and footer, it changes the
header
and
footer throughout the document. (can I throw the program out yet?)

2. I kept skipping from Section 2 to Section 4 with no section 3. The
only
way I found to get around it was to remove the section break, reinsert
it,
than copy all the text into several hard returns I had added at the
beginning
of the new Section 3. The stray section is still there (at the end
now) -
but
it doesn't show in any view I've tried (yes - I have the "show all"
button
clicked in my options). 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.
