Label cell size changes when text direction changed in Word?

[MOIPInstr]

When making labels, the cell size changes when text direction is changed. I
would like to have text read vertically - to label spline of binders.
Selecting text direction changes the cell size so that it does not match the
size of the sticky back labels. It results in text running off edges of
label. I am using label sheet 6466. So, I would like to:

MOIP
C
H
A
P
T
E
R
2

but it progresseively moves off sticky back label centers as more labels made.

Thanks!

It sounds as if you need to change the orientation of the labels first.
