17.18.65 ST_PageOrientation

This simple type specifies the orientation of all pages in the parent section. This information is used to determine the actual paper size to use when printing the file.

[Example: Pages 11" wide by 8.5" long in landscape mode use 8.5"x11" paper, because the width and height are reversed for pages in this landscape section with respect to the printed page. end example]

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML:

<w:pgSz w:w="15840" w:h="12240" w:orient="landscape" />

Although the page width is 11", and page height is 8.5", according to the w and h attributes, because the orient attribute is set to landscape, pages in this section are printed on 8.5x11" paper in landscape mode. end example]
