Rotating a text box

D

Dori

In Word 2007, I want to insert a text box and be able to rotate it. In
previous versions, this task was no problem, but I am having a lot of
difficulty in 2007. If I insert a text box, I cannot get the rotate options
to ungray -- even when text wrapping set to other than in line w/ text. If I
insert a shape and add text to the shape, I am able to rotate but cannot get
the text to rotate with the image even when text is linked to object.
Suggestions (other than ditching 2007 and using a previous version)? Thanks!

Text boxes have never been able to be free-rotated. You can change the text
direction in a text box (90 degrees right or left), but that's all. The same
applies to text added to an AutoShape. WordArt can be free-rotated.
