I don't know what "going to Orientation" is, but you need to go to the
Page Setup panel (tiny arrow at the lower right of the Page Setup
group), Margins tab, choose Portrait, and at the bottom be sure
"Entire document' is selected (rather than "This section" or "From
this point forward.")

(How did you make it change in the first place?)

Page Layout tab | Orientation should apply to the current section only. If
you make use of the Page Setup dialog box, you'll get more control (as Peter
explained).

However, if the problem is with *line breaks*, make sure that each text
"line" wasn't terminated with a paragraph mark (¶), created by pressing
Enter. To do that, click the ¶ button (so that you can see nonprinting
marks).

Hi Peter and Stephan

Thank you for your replies. I have no idea how I ended up with thi
landscape problem, I shut down mw and all was fine, when I opened th
next day it filled my screen.

I followed your instructions and nothing has changed :-(

Maybe your normat.dot template got changed????

You can open the template itself with Office button > Open > Templates
and fix it there. (Type and delete one character of text in the
template, to be sure that Word knows a change was made, before closing
it, to force it to ask you whether to save the changes.)

If you are saying that this now happens in *all* documents, follow Peter's
instructions in his most recent reply.
