See if this works. It was for Office 2003, but maybe it will be the same for 2007. When you open a new document click on the 'Format' menu and choose 'Columns'. Click on 'One' and click 'OK'. Then click on the 'File' menu and choose 'Page Setup' and click on 'Portrait'. When the page changes to 'Portrait' (in the pre-view), click on 'Default' and then click on 'OK'. Your new documents should now open in Portrait layout. > > > -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
