I have tried to sort this as I am sure there is a simple explanation but.....

Yesterday I bought a new monitor for my desk top pc. Before, my monitor was fairly small (I think 17") and square (quite old). This new one is an Acer 21.5" so landscape shape. When I typed documents in word before (Windows 7) The pages came up consecutively one after the other vertically. Now (Possibly because there is more space widthwise), they come up in twos side by side (horizontally).

I can live with it but wondered if there was a way of having it as I had before.

Edit to say I will be out the rest of the morning. Not ignoring anyone.

Depends on the system of Word your computer uses.
I should imagine it can be altered by going into Word, then looking at 'Page Layout'.

I have Word 2007, and if you click on the 'view' tab at the top of the screen, it comes up with view options of one page or two pages (zoom the document so two pages show side by side in the window). If your version of Word has that , might be worth clicking on the one page option, to see if that does the trick.

Thank you Kucinta that does the trick. Yes I have word 2007 as well. That is useful to know. Thank you for your help.

You can zoom in and out with Word (there are a number of different ways to do this). Also, with better monitors you can physically flip between portrait and landscape.
This applies to other software too.

Pleased it did the trick. :-)

Thank you, yes I can see that you can zoom in and out. You live and learn. All sorted now anyway.
