Default How can I rotate text 15 degrees in Word?

It can certainly be done in Publisher - I tested it before responding
originally - but there is no way practical way to do it in Word.

I don't see how it could be. Well, maybe if catalog merge was used
and the rotated text was saved as a graphic. But that sure seems like
a lot of work done for whatever reason.

What "could" be done would be to start with whatever label or envelop
you were going to use, insert a text box, rotate that, and then merge
your data into that.

I was very curious what the heck the OP was going for tho.

We'll have to wait for JoAnn to weigh in to tell us whether rotated
text can
be used in a mail merge, however.

As Suzanne has indicated, this is not possible in Word, but it is
fairly simple to do in Publisher, if you have that application or
feel inclined to try it.
