Word Document Template Paper Size

I have created a word document template of paper size US Letter (8.5" x 11"), and the orientation is set to landscape. When I use this template to create the report, the paper size comes out as (11" x 8.5") with the orientation as landscape. Is there any way to have the generated word document have the correct paper size and orientation?

I assume you are using "orient('landscape')" command to set the orientation.

If you are using MATLAB R2016a or newer version, the 'PaperPositionMode' is set to 'auto' by default.

So, the "orient('landscape')" is probably not being reflected. Try to set the 'PaperPositionMode' to 'manual' before setting the paper orientation.
