Last reviewed: July 30, 1997

Article ID: Q22581

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Word for the Macintosh versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0, 5.0, 5.1, 6.0

SYMPTOMS
When you select Wide Orientation under Page Setup AND change the paper height and width accordingly in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh, the orientation does not change when you view the document in Page Preview (Print Preview beginning with Word version 4.0.)

RESOLUTION
To print sideways, the page height and width should remain the same and only the orientation should be changed. For example, if you want your document to print sideways on letter-sized paper, the Letter Size option should remain checked, along with the Wide Orientation option. When you choose Page Preview (or Print Preview), the pages will appear sideways with the text properly appearing horizontally.
