text boxes

[Mindy]

Hi, Can text boxes be rotated? If so, how?

 

[CyberTaz]

Text Boxes cannot be rotated. You can create a rectangular (or most any
other)AutoShape, rt-clk it to Add Text, and rotate the *shape*. However, the
text, itself, cannot be rotated.

You can use WordArt to create graphic text objects that can be rotated, but
they may not look or print as well as you might like. The WordArt object can
also be stacked on top of another shape, then you can select the 2 objects &
Group them.

Not really but there is a work-around. See www.drawingwithword.com and work
your way to the tutorial on rotating text boxes

As CyberTaz and Keith have pointed out, text boxes themselves cannot be
rotated. You can rotate the text within them by 90 degrees right or left,
however (Format | Text Direction).
