Default Rotating text to print on labels

Howdy All,

Wondering if this is possible, I have some 2" x 4" labels and I would like
to print a list on them.
I would like to print on them with text rotated 90 degrees so the text runs
the long way on the label instead of the standard wide orientation.

Thanks,
Brian

Labels are just tables. Use the Text Direction command to rotate the text.

Thanks for the reply Suzanne.

But I'm slow, and I'm not seeing where that option is?

If you right-click in a table cell, it should be on the menu. Otherwise, use
Format | Text Direction.
