Page orientation when printing unusual sizes

[Ammuntean]

When printing from Pub2000 to tabloid several years ago it would show vert
for horiz and vice versa and would not print correctly. After much
frustration QMS gave me a patch but said it was a Microsoft problem. Today I
was trying to print a B5J size card and the same thing happened. I tried it
on an HP inkjet and it happened again. I dropped the layout into a cheapo
Sierra program and it prints correctly but with a loss of some graphic
detail. It is a Microsoft problem...what is the solution?

When Konica Minolta supplied you with a patch it should tell you it was not a
Publisher issue. If you go through the faq's on the QMS web site there are many
orientation documents. HP DeskJet's have been known to incorrectly set the
orientation with envelopes and since you are using a small publication this could be
your problem, but this is a HP issue not a Publisher fault.

It all depends on how you have your publication set up.
Can you post a small sample publication (ZIPped) or email one to me?
