SUMMARY

Setting the orientation of a document (portrait or landscape mode) in the Microsoft Word for Windows version 6.0 Page Setup dialog box overrides any selection made in the Print Setup dialog box.

MORE INFORMATION

You can set the orientation of each page of your document individually with the following steps:

1. From the File menu, choose Page Setup.

2. Select Size and Orientation. Select the Portrait or Landscape

   option in the Orientation box, and choose the OK button.

You can set the overall page orientation of your document with the following steps:

1. From the File menu, choose Print Setup. Select Setup.

2. Select Portrait or Landscape in the Orientation box and choose the

   OK button.

Word for Windows does not change the orientation setting in the Print Setup dialog box; it simply bypasses that setting for the current print job.
