Landscape page orientation in mixed portrait/landscape documents

[John Hucker]

Hi,

I have a Word 97 document that is a mixture of portrait and landscape pages.
When I print and staple the document in the top left corner the landscape
pages, when read, have the staple in the top right corner. I'd have thought
for natural reading the orientation of the page should be reversed with the
staple in the top left corner - after all that's where you'd place your
staple if you had solely landscape pages.

So, my question is does anyone know how to change the orientation for the
landscape pages in a mixed portrait/landscape document so that both types of
page end up being stapled in the top left corner? I need to send this
document to the printers so manual intervention is not possible.

Hope this makes sense.

Many thanks,
John.

Sorry, I've managed to confuse even myself.

Here's how it should have read:

pages, when read, have the staple in the top right corner. I'd have thought
for natural reading the orientation of the page should be reversed with the

staple in the bottom left corner.

So, my question is does anyone know how to change the orientation for the

landscape pages in a mixed portrait/landscape document so that the portrait
pages get stapled in the top left corner and the landscape pages get stapled
in the bottom left corner? I need to send this document to the printers so

manual intervention is not possible.

Thanks again for any advice.

John.

The layout of landscape pages varies depending on the printer (and usually
printer type, inkjet vs. laser), but the conventional orientation is top of
*all* landscape pages to the left. This is designed for bound (duplex)
documents such as books rather than documents stapled in the corner and
makes it possible to rotate the document just once to view landscape pages,
whether recto or verso.
