So tell us more, or show us, what you mean by homepage. As I said, I am not familiar with that term. I have been using Word for more than 30 years and have heard the term applied to browsers and websites, but not Word.

I think I described it pretty well a few posts above. It's the page you get when you open word from its icon (not by clicking on a doc's icon).

But never mind! I just opened Word to look at that and for the first time in many days it opened in portrait. I guess the vba bit for some reason took two reboots to stick.
Thanks.

The terminology is not consistent.
EDIT: The option at File > Options > General mentions "Start" while there actually is a Home screen
at the File menuor, more precisely, there is the File > Home backstage (at least in some versions of Word):- Charles_KenyonJun 26, 2023Bronze ContributorI guess that would be the Home tab in backstage (the file screen).
