Rotating Text In A Text Box ? How Please (beginner)

[Robert11]

Hello:

A bit new at this.

Have a chart with some text inside of a "Text Box".

Exactly how do I go about rotating the text 90 degrees ?

I can select the box OK, but the rotation functions on the drawing bar on
the bottom
of the screen seem greyed out ?

Thanks,
Bob

With the text box selected, go to the menu and click Format | Selected
Object | Alignment tab. You should see various orientations available
there.

Hi Bob,

You need to use the alignment/orientation options instead of the rotate.
Select the textbox and press CTRL+1 to display the format dialog.
