G'Day Joe,
Why can't I rotate a text box?
Because a Text Box can not be rotated!
That suggests to me that something -- some other
option -- is causing the rotation option to be
inapplicable.
The same dialog is used for OTHER objects, a rectangle
for example, that CAN be rotated (but not the text inside
them).
Can I do that?
Try WordArt!

Why can't I rotate a text box?
When I go into Format Text Box / Size, I see a
rotation option. But it is greyed out -- unusable.

option -- is causing the rotation option to be
inapplicable.
I have gone through all of the Tools options.
I have disabled nearly all of the automatic
corrections etc, to no avail.
I can use Text Direction. But that limits me
to multiples of 90 degress. I was hoping to
turn text 45 degrees -- and ideally to any angle.
Can I do that?
I am using MS Word 2003 (11.6359.6360) SP1 on
an MS Win XP Pro system.
