Landscape Printing Following Me

A few days ago at work on my Windows 2000 machine with NAV Corporate all my documents started printing out in landscape mode (HP 2200dn). So I of course went in and made the correct changes so it would print in portrait. The setting stayed in tact for that print job and a few hours later it was back to landscape mode. Then last night at home the same problem started showing up on my XP Pro system with NAV 2002 & an Epson 1280 printer. Office 2000, Internet Explorer or Photoshop I have this problem. I do share files between each machine using a USB keychain but NAV hasn't detected any sort of virus even after a full virus scan on either machine. Anyone have any sort of idea?

It could be a Word macro virus.

There was the W97M.Sting virus about a year ago that did basically what you are describing.
It overwrote the global template Normal.dot

Why Norton wouldn't pick it up is a little strange.

You can check to see if you have that or another variation of it in your Autoexec.bat file.
It sets the path to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates.

You can also check by doing a SAVE AS. The default filename would be "Bohol Poll 7 results released."
