How do I fix this weird Microsoft Word formatting problem?

Question

My boss has Microsoft Word 2003, and for some reason when he opens a new document and starts typing, the words appear sideways.  What I mean is, it opens in what looks like Portrait Mode, but the cursor is in the top right corner and is a horizontal line instead of a vertical one.  And when you start typing, the words proceed down the right edge of the document.  So basically, you'd have to tilt your head 90 degrees to the right in order to read the words.  Neither of us can figure out why this bizarre change happened.

I hope that description makes sense--I use Word a lot (A LOT) but I've never seen it do anything like this.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thank you!

I'm not sure what the answer to this is, however, I think the easiest thing to do would be to delete the normal.dot and allow Word to create a new one when it next starts up.
