    I have a card that is 5.5x8.5 and it folds in half to 5.5x4.25 and I wanted to print on one of the panels on the inside.
    I can feed it into the printer in a portrait format (Standing tall 5.5x8.5 - feeds in the 5.5 way) and print it, but the card does not feed well as it is a fairly thick card. When I turn it around like a landscape and feed it in the 8.5" way, it feeds well but although I turn all by type in the document sideways it does print as such. In the print preview it shows fine, but it does not print sideways.
    Can anyone help suggest something. I have tried Word and Publisher, they both do the same thing.

    This is the fault of the editing software; use something good...or get yourself a copy of PrimoPDF, print to it, and then print from adobe acrobat.

    I will try this, thanks.
    Is there a way to get word, publisher or one of those software that come with new systems to do this, somehow?
