SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you print a document on the StyleWriter II printer, if you are using
the StyleWriter II printer driver version 1.0 or 1.2, the A4 paper size
will change to a custom size of 11.67 x 8.25 when Landscape orientation is
used.
 
In Word 4.0 and 5.x, when you click Page Setup, and you set the paper size
to A4 and the orientation to Landscape, the paper size will change to US
Letter size. If you then select Custom 11.67 x 8.25 from the drop-down
list, the incorrect orientation (Portrait) is selected.
 
This problem does not occur in Word 6.0 and 6.0.1.
 
CAUSE
=====
 
The A4 size is replaced by the selected page's size in inches but the
orientation of the page is not rotated 90 degrees.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a conflict between the versions of Word
listed at the beginning of this article and the StyleWriter II printer
driver. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
