That issue is muddled, and I couldn't figure out what it was proposing. It seems to me that there are two different things here. The Format/Page property defines what direction normal English text appears on the page. But the printer properties define the direction that the paper will be fed into the printer. Printers which accept only one direction will ignore this setting (I think). What is the OP trying to do? Arrange the text to read left to right when the paper has the long side at the top, or is he trying to feed the paper into the printer long side first? -- Andy Pepperdine On this mailing list help is provided by volunteers.
