Rotate text on screen? Help please

[Mac Lynch]

Kia Ora
I am using Word 97 with Windows 98SE.
1. Is there a method to rotate the text of a document so I can rotate
physically my monitor and read an A4 page practically full size on the screen?

I have tried creating a text box typing in my text, then rotating it, but I
want to bring in copied text from other documents, that a text box will not
accept.

2. Is a later version of Word or Windows necessary?

3. Do I need to use another program to do this?
Thanks
Mac

Check with the manufacturer of your monitor and see if they have a driver
that lets you do this.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I contacted HP. My M50 Monitor will cope alright, but it depends on a suitable
video card that will accept a rotate command from Windows XP operating system.
Unfortunately, I am running 98SE.

Maybe you could print the document to a PDF? Those can be
rotated on the screen.
