Hello,
I use Photoshop more than Illustrator and am trying to figure out how to work in Illustrator in a landscape view rather than the portrait
view that seems to be the default option when I open 'new' in Ills.

I have a few books on Ills but can't find out how to rotate the work area and save it that ways.

thanks for your help rotut

Create a new file, it'll open up portrait to begin with. Then go to File, Page setup... Choose page attributes from the top left pop-up menu, then click on the sideways guy (the one on the right) net to where it says Orientation:

If that doesn't take, go to File, Document setup... and make sure you check the button labelled "use page setup."

P.S. You'll get faster responses to Illustrator questions if you post them in the new Graphics/Illustration forum. (check it out!)
