Changing Paper Size and Orientation

By default, the paper size in the U.S. version of WordPerfect is 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches (other countries have different standards for paper size). Text is formatted in portrait orientation, which means that the paper is taller than it is wide. Think of a portrait photograph.
