Since my cat sat on my laptop, everyhting is upside down. How can I
correct his?

Ask the cat to turn around and sit on the laptop again?

Seriously, this has nothing to do with Microsoft Word, and everything to do
with your specific brand/model of laptop and its video subsystem. If you
have or can find a user manual for the laptop, look for something in there
about keystrokes used to rotate the display. If you can't find that, ask on
the web site of the laptop's manufacturer.

This depending on your graphics driver but usually it will be a combination
of Ctrl+ Alt+Down for 180 deg rotation, or some such combo.
But as Jay has posted, what has this to do with MS Word, check the
properties of you graphic driver and or the manufacturer of your PC.

Hope this helps

I saved a pdf as tiffs out of Acrobat Pro so that Microsoft Document
Imaging could OCR it for me, and it reads the first page as if it were
upside down. Whether OCRed as part of the ten-page set, or as a single
page. When I tried rotating the image, so it appeared upside down in
the MDI window, it also read it as if it were upside down. And after I
OCRed the individual page right side up, it flipped the view to upside
down when it was done!

Then I think your argument is with MDI. Are you saying that the Word file
created by the OCR is displayed upside down?

There was a bug in a long-ago version -- maybe Word 95 or 97 -- that caused
it to misread a bit in the headers of certain graphics files and display
them upside down (but just the picture, not the text around it). There might
still be an article about it in the MS KnowledgeBase. Maybe MDI is suffering
from a similar bug.

That's why I thought of mentioning it in this OT thread!

The text output is what you get when you OCR an upside down page --
lots of Os and Us and not much else. It just won't read this one page
right side up!

Should MDI 2007 look different from the 2003 version? I simply clicked
on it in "All Programs," under Microsoft Office Tools, and got this
stripped-down-looking GUI (very easy to use).
