= SUMMARY =

Versions 1.0, 1.05, 2.0, and 3.0 of Microsoft Works for MS-DOS do not support landscape printing on dot-matrix printers, except in the chart module.

However, there are two programs that do allow landscape printing of spreadsheets. The first is called “Twist and Shout” by The Software Toolworks. For more information, call The Software Toolworks at (818) 885-9000. Twist and Shout is a companion product for Works version 2.0. A catalog of other companion products and a coupon book are available from Microsoft Consumer Sales by calling (800) 426-9400. The second product is called “Sideways”; it can be obtained from Funk Software Incorporated by calling (617) 497-6339.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products’ performance or reliability. These products are supported by their respective manufacturers.

= MORE INFORMATION =

These are stand-alone programs that run outside Works and use the Lotus 1-2-3 file format for spreadsheets.

To save spreadsheet files in the Works format, do the following:


 * 1) Exit Works and start Sideways or Twist and Shout.
 * 2) Choose to load files that are stored in the Lotus 1-2-3 format, not ASCII. If you choose ASCII, Works spreadsheet cells are printed with quotation marks around the cells.
