how could i change the text and the page orientatio.
(The curser appear verticale insted of horezental, I write from top to down
instead from left to right)

That is a matter of text direction rather than page orientation. If you just
want your page to be in landscape orientation (which you will still view
horizontally on the screen), change the orientation on the Margins or Paper
Size tab of File | Page Setup. If you want *part* of your text to be
vertical, insert a text box or table and change the text direction in it
(Format | Text Direction)

Actual every thing is change from left to right to up to down even the
alignment and the list icons, I know how to change the text direction within
the table and how to change from portal to landscape put this is different.
If I start ms word every thing is rotated 90 .
Thanks
 
Ah, I misunderstood you. Unless you have a monitor (or Tablet PC) that
allows you to rotate the display, you have probably enabled some Asian
option. Word's Help has the following (which suggests you may need to check
what language is selected in Tools | Language | Set Language and what
languages are enabled in Microsoft Office Language Settings):

Change vertical text to horizontal in a vertical East Asian document

The feature or some of the options described in this Help topic are only
available if support for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese,
or Korean is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

Only full-width characters are correctly set as vertical text within a
document. Half-width characters, such as numbers, are displayed as
horizontal text rotated 90 degrees to the right, but you can set these to be
combined so that they appear properly as vertical text. This feature is best
used for small pieces of text, such as dates.

1. Select the half-width characters, such as numbers, that you want to
combine.

2. On the Format menu, point to Asian Layout, and then click Horizontal
in Vertical.

3. To align numbers to the line width, select the Fit in line check box.
Note To clear horizontal formatting, select the horizontal characters. On
the Format menu, point to Asian Layout, click Horizontal in Vertical, and
then click Remove.
