Vertical text in a report

[Neil Terry]

I want to create a label, in a report, with vertical text
that is 'right side up' when I tilt my head to the left.
As it is when I select the 'vertical' property, it always
ends up 'right side up' when I tilt my head to the right
and 'upside down' when I tilt my head to the left. I've
looked for variations to the 'vertical' property but can't
find any.

I will appreciate any help on this.

Thanks,
Neil

You might try saving the text as an image/picture then

rotate it so the text is the right way for your report.
You can then make the black block around it white to make
it dissappear if their is not a border transparent feature
on the image/picture box.

Thanks. I've been doing that but it's not as good as if it
were text.

Stephen,
That was a new one on me but I finally got it working and
I thank you very much. It appears that I can only have one
line per control. Is that so?
Thanks again,
Neil

Yes both solutions are single line only.
