I can.
Just tried it offline with no problems.
Explain you're procedure so we can correct what you're doing wrong.
Select plane.
Hold NUMPAD 2 and 5 key at the same time (this is the up and back view).
While holding the numpad keys, use the Up/Down arrow keys to move view in and out.
While holding the numpad keys, move the view left and right using the left/right arrow keys.
When you get the view you like the F10 key locks it in.
