How do i change page direction from horizontal to vertical?

[Guest]

This occurs when I initially open a new document or start MS Word. I do not
have any tables, text boxes, or auto shapes set up. It's a blank document,
however the type is writing 90 degrees clockwise down the right side of the
page. My page setup is correct, but the text orientation is sideways down the
right side of the page. Along with this, my justification and column keys
turned sideways as well. How do I get it back to "normal"?

But what's needed to fix the underlying problem has something to do with
Asian languages, I think. Or possibly software used to rotate the display on
Tablet PCs.
