benphp Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I'm generating a Microsoft Word doc with header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-word"); header("Content-Disposition: attachment;Filename=myPrintInLandscape.doc"); but it opens in portrait orientation. Does anyone know of a way to force it into landscape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Somewhere in the bowels of the document there will be a page orientation setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benphp Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 It's opening the HTML in a Word document. I'm guessing it must be a CSS solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Somewhere in the bowels You know, I just had a bowel movement and man, that was a relief. I think the orientation was set at Landscape, but not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I think you'll want to get a library that helps you build a Word document. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
