Word page orientation

I work in Office 2003 and have just installed a new printer - same make,
different model (Brother).

With the previous printer, Word worked perfectly. Since the change Word will
only print in portrait and not in Landscape - even using older files that
printed OK before.
For example when I try to print an envelope set for DL, I get the correct
print but in the middle of an A4 sheet. If I try to print in two columns in
landscape, I get the left-hand column in portrait.
I have tried checking all the set-up details and can find nothing wrong.

The printer prints as expected in Excel and such as Adobe Acrobat.


Can someone help please?

Hi =?Utf-8?B?QWxhbg==?=,

You should address this question to the word.printingfonts newsgroup, where
you should find people with a pretty good grasp of printing problems. Be sure
to tell them the exact model of the printer you just bought.

FWIW, if I had a problem like this, I'd start looking through the Printer
Properties under Windows. There may be a setting in there that's not allowing
but the one paper size.
