There is a program in the util directory of cica called flipper.zip. It runs as an icon, changing appearance when double clicked to reflect the fact that you have changed the printer orientation. Points vertically, portrait mode. Points horizontally, landscape mode. Its really a great util if you frequently change orientations. I called MS yesterday and discussed the issue with their tech. sup. Their answer was to change printer orientation or page size by embedding the escape sequences in the text. Sorry Microsoft, WordPerfect does it better when it comes to switching orientation wihin a document. I hope WordPerfect for Windows violates the Windows standard of only changing printer orientation through the Windows system level functions. Robert
