Hi, Since last week our custom minutes of the general meeting are shown in landscape in exports. Is there a way I can force portrait-mode? I recall we had troubles with exporting that morning (very slow or errors) but didn’t make changes to the code beforehand. I don’t know what could cause this change in page orientation. Lesly ---

Hello @Lesly, Does your template has some code looking like this: `{% changeorientation "landscape" %}` ? That’s the only reason I can think off to having an export behave like that for a text template ---

Hi Sven, I never used this code. Can I solve it the other way around, like `{% changeorientation "portrait" %}`? Lesly ---

Yes. But I’d rather analyse why your template is not landscape. So that code isn’t present now in your template? @Lesly ---

No. Our code is quite similar to the Silverfin-template. The biggest difference is that we have more columns in the table for the remunerations. ---

How many columns, may I ask? 😊 ---

Okay, very strange that the text template would be exported into landscape. @Lesly sorry for going back-and-forth, but would you mind sending a mail to [support@silverfin.com](mailto:support@silverfin.com) (you can mention me), and say in which company file and which export you are encountering this issue? I can investigate further (cause I cannot simulate the issue) and let you know here what the issue exactly is. Thanks so much Lesly
