Screen view incorrect (Landscape doc appearing in portrait)

Hi I've just got the latest Word version and i've opened an older document.  The document has two A5 sized text boxes on a landscape setting.  In the new version it opens it as a a portrait document (so I have to tip my head to read it right).  The text direction is running top to bottom on the screen so I can edit it correctly, but I can't view it right. If I simply try and alter the orientation of the page it turns the page but not the text.

Any suggestions?
