Ah, thanks. I went to do this and see that my original lay out is in landscape configuration because I need the width. However, it seems I can¹t have one landscape layout and one portrait layout without changing my page set up before printing each time is this true? (and if that¹s a 5.5 issue, is it also a FM8 issue?)
