Word 6 has a facility to turn things sideways, but I haven't used it. The simplest thing to do is to print the sideways page separately from all the others, and get it sideways by selecting the landscape paper orientation option in Page Setup. If you just want to turn a particular word sideways (I think this may be what you mean), I would do it by making the words into graphics and rotating them 90 degrees in a drawing package. In Word 5.1, you can do this easily with the drawing editor. Ian.
