types sideways... in otherwords instead of my text going from left to right,
it goes from top to bottom.

Are you typing in a table or text box?

Neither. I am typing on a blank sheet of paper. No table, no text box.
When I open existing documents they open correctly and the page goes from top
to bottom. When I open a new document the whole page sits sideways.

In Word, open a new document, and click on File | Page Setup |
Margins tab | Portrait | Default | OK. If you are prompted to
save changes to your Normal.dot global template when you close
Word, say yes.
