What was the result of the output after you made these changes? What you need to do is to go back to the report property sheet. Select the 'Character Mode' page.
Swape the values of 'Report Width x Height' field. (I haven't tried this myself but its my best guess).

It may help if you design your report using character units, in which case, select the 'Use Character Units in Designer' option.

If your report contains graphics objects, select the 'Convert Bitmapped Objects to Boxes'.

See Chapter 2, Lesson IV: 'Add Page Numbers' section in Dev.200 Reports2.5, Building Reports Manual.

Open the layout editor, select the text tool from the tool box (the mouse pointer will change to a cross). Click inside a text boilerplate to make it editable.
