In one of my documents,the text is written vertically instead of
horizontally. How can I restore the normal orientation ?

Is the text in a text box, table, or frame?

Dear Suzanne:
No. The text is the entire document in Microsoft
Word. When I try to send it, each line appears alone as a vertical column of
symbols.

Are you saying that the document appears normal until you try to print or
send? If so, that's a common printer bug. Or does the text appear in one
column from the outset?

Yes! It is normal until I try to print or send it.

According to Office MVP Bob Buckland:

It's a bug that is apparently related to an interaction between Word
Add-ins (Redaction is one) and some printer drivers and Word temp files.

You can often undo it by using File=Print and switching to another printer
then back, or close Word and recycle the files you find
using
Start=Search
~$*.*;*.tmp
then restart Word.

Dear Suzanne:
Your two suggestions for overcoming the problem did
not work, but I'm not sure that I understood the second one about recycling
the files. How should I proceed with ~$*.*;*.tmp ? Thanks for your
patience!

They're not my suggestions but Bob's. Search for ~$*.* and delete every file
you find; repeat for *.tmp.

Dear Ms. Barnhill:
Quite a few files came up as a result of the *.tmp search.
Is it safe to delete all of them ? I'm sorry to raise such a
question, but I am a complete duffer about such things.
Sincerely yours,
Elliott Mendelson
