In Word Perfect we often have a document which consists of a letter preceded by an envelope addressed to the person receiving the letter. The envelope is landscape mode, envelope sized paper. The letter is portrait mode, normal 8.5" x 11" size. When printed, the printer prompts you for the envelope, prints it, then prints the letter, switching page size and paper orientation happily. But it seems like no Windows program could do this, since orientation must be set through the proverbial "Printer Setup" option. This is not too flexible. I tried to write a W4W macro to do this, but the macro stops when it gets to the system level menu regarding printer setup. This is an important issue for serious document preparation. Many documents need to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape modes. Somebody please tell me I'm missing something and tell me what it is! Robert

Did you try using a section break? I think this is is pulled off of the Insert menu. Inserting a section break into a document will allow you to change the headers and footers (ie different first page header/footer) It might allow you to do the same for paper orientations. Good Luck Paul Zonfrillo
