Can you please tell me if there is any way to free rotate a text box? I am
using MS Office 2000 Professional.

Thanks!

No. Text in the text box can be rotated 90 degrees clockwise or
counter-clockwise.

But you can use WordArt for small amounts of text (and more headaches).

No. The only text-like thing in Word that can be freely rotated is
WordArt.

For an alternative, see the suggestion about pasting from PowerPoint
in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrp...deDownText.htm.

When the text box is selected, the contextual Text Box Tools will be
displayed. In the Text group, the Text Direction button will change the text
direction.
