This occurs when I initally open a new document or start MS Word. I do not
have any tables, text boxes, or auto shapes set up. It's a blank document,
however the type is writing 90 degrees clockwise down the right side of the
page. My page setup is correct, but the text orientation is sideways down the
right side of the page. Along with this, my justification and column keys
turned sideways as well. How do I get it back to "normal"?

You may want to rename the Normal template; then, Word will create a
fresh copy for you, which *might* solve the problem. See
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/apperrors/...ocNotBlank.htm.

Another thing to check is whether you have the correct language set;
see http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm.
