Vertical Alignment of a Label

[Don]

This seems like it should be soo easy......

I have a independent label on a form. I would like to to
change the alignment of the the label to vertical. Fine.
No big deal, changed this in Properties.

However, the text reads "top to bottom." I want the text
to read "bottom to top," so the user turn their head left
to read the label.

It's just a simple label that gives the title of the
form. I can't figure out how to accomposh this. Any ideas?

Thanks so much,
Don

Hi Joan, there is a solution to this issue here:

VerticalJustificationA2K.zip is a database containing a function to
allow for vertical centering of the contents of a Label or TextBox
control. Works with both Forms and Reports.

You read the request differently than I did. He said he wanted users to
turn their head to read the text bottom to top - sounded like rotated to me.

Nonetheless, he's certain to find the solution at your site.

Cheers!

Easiest solution, and the least troublesome for a user, is to simply make
the text box one column wide then the label will read normally but from top
to bottom as:

L
A
B
E
L
