InfoPath 2003 wont print in landscape

Posted on April 3rd, 2007 AndyParkes 5 comments

This was a problem i encountered a while back but thought it was just me doing something silly when i was messing around with print views.

You set up the form and specify in the page setup you want it landscape but no matter what you do it always ends up in portrait (even in print preview)

Turns out installing Internet Explorer 7 is the problem.

One of my colleagues was trying to print out an expense claims form when i realised it wasn’t just me (obviously my move to Vista and Office 2007 made the problem go away for me!)

There is a hotfix available here. Give your local Microsoft support number a call and ask for the hotfix (remember they are free)

I installed it this morning and the problem has gone away..yay!

InfoPath, Office
