Yes. Type press SHIFT+ENTER after each letter.

Make sure the text box is set to centered text.

Or select the text and run this macro on it:

Sub VerticalizeText()

Dim oSh As Shape
Dim x As Long
Dim sTemp As String

Set oSh = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
With oSh.TextFrame.TextRange
For x = 1 To Len(.Text)
sTemp = sTemp & Mid$(.Text, x, 1) & Chr$(11)
Next
.Text = sTemp
End With

oSh.TextFrame.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignCenter

End Sub


Note: Change "Verticalize" above to "Verticalise" to make your
computer happier if it's set to British English.


Another note: Ignore the first note. Small, probably doomed attempt
at humor.

Yet another note: Or if you prefer, humour.
