Yes, Word can give trouble because it "knows" what the printer can do...
Here is a work-around:
Put the text and other items to be printed in a Text Box (from the Insert tab). Then rotate that box 90 degrees. Word will now print it the way you want. There are two ways to rotate it:
- grab the handle above the centre of the text box (hold down the shift key to make it easier to select 90 degrees)
- click the Format tab, and then Rotate, where you can select 90 or 180 degrees.
