How do I set up a horizontal blank document?

[Guest]

I need to set up a blank document, but in a horizontal format, as opposed to
vertical. How do I do this?

Set up a template the way you want your document. If you want all documents
that way, modify your Normal Template (normal.dot). Otherwise, open a
document, modify the Page Setup for Landscape, make any other changes you
want and then save the document as a template using "Save As Type: Document
Template (.dot)."

I wouldn't modify the normal.dot template to landscape. Not sure how that
would change labels, but I suspect it would.

Can't imagine any reason somebody would want all documents in landscape and
I should never have referred to the possibility.
