Look at the margins (in File Page Setup) and the paragraph indents (on the ruler or in Format Paragraph). In one place or the other, the Right measurement is probably set so that the text column is only one character wide. If that's the case, change it back to its normal setting and click the Default button. If it happens for all new documents, it may be a case of the sort of thing described at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ocNotBlank.htm.

If you're in a text box, frame, or table, check Format | Text Direction.
Otherwise, I would have to think you might have enabled some bizarre Asian IME (I don't know of any that write from the bottom, though). -- Suzanne S.

That's what I was thinking to, but can't seem to figure out how to change it.

My MS Word has changed to Vertical typing instead of horizantal
Is it just the typing area that is rotated or the whole screen? If the
latter, note that some screen drivers can rotate the screen display? If not then there is definitely something amiss. I would suggest renaming normal.dot and deleting the Word data key in the registry, and removing (at least temporarily) any add-ins as suggested at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Laura wrote: I wonder if some weird virus caused it.

Did you check your margins in Page Setup with a new document? It's a remote
possibility, but could you have done something with Normal that would have changed them? Like maybe set margins with a macro or such and slipped on a decimal point? Or maybe check your style settings? Could you have picked up a weird style from another doc and got it as the default? Ed "Laura" wrote in message ...
