How do I change the paint page setup defauts?

Hi Laurie,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



The issue could occur if correct settings is not selected.

To assist you better, please provide us the information below:

• When you say that "orientation default from landscape to portrait, and also change the margin defaults", are you referring to making orientation change from landscape to portrait for printer page setup?

If you want to change the orientation of printer page setup in the paint app, then I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

1. Open Paint app.

2. Then click on File.

3. Under Printer option, select
Page setup.

4. Then choose Portrait and click on
Ok.

5. Try to change margin settings accordingly.





Please get back to us with an update on issue with changing orientation page setup for paint app, we will be happy to help.



Thank you.

Problem with page orientation with downloaded pages in their fplder

• Have you tried printing from any Office apps (e.g. Word), and see if it does the same thing.

• "No. This only happens with some of the pages in the download folder in question. Out of, about 50 files it, currently, affects about 20. No other office apps (or any other) exhibits this problem"

• For us to be in the same page, how do you print the files out? This would help us also to replicate the issue.

The issue is not in the printing. It seems to be in the saving. The, would be single page somehow saves as 2 pages. It appears to be related to
page orientation. I cannot figure out how to alter the palge orientation of the affected pages. I have tried to change the orientation in Edge and Adobe (they are saved as .pdf's), but can't find that option.

Thank you
