PUB2002: Landscape Word Document Is Imported with Portrait Orientation (279387)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher 2002

This article was previously published under Q279387

SYMPTOMS

When you import a Microsoft Word document that uses the landscape page orientation, the Import Microsoft Word Wizard ignores this setting and reformats the document with portrait page orientation. Any formatting that took advantage of the wider landscape page width is truncated in the imported publication.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, manually switch the page orientation back to landscape, and resize the text frames to fit within the layout guides. You may have to reposition images in their original locations.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
