Regina - you are a lifesaver! I hardly slept last night cause I 
couldn't figure out how to proceed with my problems, but I took your 
advice and it worked! For the most part. Actually, on the way to get 
"Landscape," I went to the "Default" button and it shows only
Clear formatting
Default
Heading 1
Heading 2
Heading 3
Text Body
More . . .

When I touch "More" I get a long list of other things. Nothing about 
"landscape."

I think there is something else I should do. Any ideas?
Thanks muchly!
