You may want to check and update your print driver. Word gets it's "data"
from the driver installed for the printer you have. So "Word" didn't reverse
anything...the data being received to Word is apparently incorrect. I.e.,
the programmers who wrote the code for the printer > Word
connection...messed up!

Go to the web site for your printer and see if there is a new version for
your printer. Chances are someone else discovered the problem and they fixed
it in an update. Download the NEWEST version of the print driver available
for your particular printer. Install it and give it another shot.

Subject: [mso] Margins in Landscape printing

I have noticed an anomaly (I think!) in the setting of margins for landscape
printing.
Using Portrait and Page Setup, deleting all margins and allowing Word to set
the minimums I get Top .17cm Bottom 1.28cm

Use Landscape in the same way Left .17cm Right 1.28cm

Problem is that the leading edge of the paper is Top in Portrait and Right
in Landscape but the figures differ - Word appears to have reversed the
figures for Left and Right in Landscape.

Any help much appreciated.

Happy New Year to everyone who has contributed to informative and
entertaining reading during the past year.
