You're a very generous programmer. :) AppleWorks just cheerfully prints my spreadsheets on two pages, cut partway through in a most inconvenient manner, if I forget to select landscape mode. > 1) How can I ignore the users setting and be sure it > is in landscape?

You can't get g.DrawString to do that; you'd instead need to do your drawing with the more modern Object2D classes, which have full support for rotation. (But beware that on some systems, rotated text and images come out with a solid background instead of a transparent one.)
