Thanks, Brad. I had already tried your solution and rejected it,
because it overwrote the page/label size adjustments I had to make in
the Label dialog. My problem is, however solved. The cause was indeed
the settings of page/label sizes in the Label dialog. The chosen values
had created a page width slightly above the A4 21 cm, which forced the
printer dialog to choose Landscape.

Thanks again for answering
Cheers
Harvey
