MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / March 2008Print view is sideways
I have a document that looks fine in Web layout view and Normal view, but when I switch to Print view it goes sideways and looks like it's formatted for landscape. It's not; it's portrait layout. I've tried different paper sizes, switching back and forth between portrait and landscape, changed margin sizes, and numerous other things... none of which worked. Anyone have a solution for me? This old-time Word user is now good and stumped. Help! Is it "2 pages per sheet" or "Book fold"? Both are laid out as two portrait pages side by side on a landscape sheet.  SignatureSuzanne S.

I am having the same (?) problem. I noticed that when I first open the document the page's print-layout view displayed on the monitor looks fine then all-of-a-sudden the "paper" is stretched to be wider than the ruler on the display. When I print or preview the page, the paper looks odd, too wide and short - I guess it's similar enough to look like landscape - and the text seems "shrunk" on the page. I too have checked margins, page layout, formats and styles and I don't see anything different or "odd" that would cause this. I use Word 2003. Ava, I have found a solution to MY problem, maybe it will help yours! Try this article on the Microsoft.com website: article # 319181 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319181/en-us It explains how using tracking and comments will make your page layout funky (enlarges the whitespace on the right side and bottom of each page to accomodate printing comments and such). I followed Mehtod 2 as described in the article and "voila" the page looks right and prints correctly! No more shrinking text! Hope this is helpful for you! Robin in FL Well, that's an entirely different thing; that's caused by having "markup" (tracked changes or comments) in the document. Word expands the margins to accommodate the balloons. But such a document still looks the normal shape in Print Preview; it's just that the text is "shrunk" into the top left corner. SignatureSuzanne S.
