Text Rotation in Word 2007
I am trying to rotate a small text box in Word 2007.
In Word Help, it says under "Rotate a picture, shape, text box, or WordArt " :- "Click the picture shape, text box or WordArt that you want to rotate. Do one of the following: Drag the rotation handle" But I can not find the rotation handle - I am going mad trying to get it to work. Sorry for being such an idiot, but can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? |

In addition, under the Text Box Format Menu, there is a 'Rotate' button which
when you click it has all the options greyed out except 'More Rotate Options' Clicking on 'More rotate options' brings up a series of format options - none of which relate to Rotate! Help!!!!!!! |

Are you sure it's a text box (an old feature) and not a frame
(introduced recently)?

The frame is the old feature (going back to the beginnings of Word). The
text box was introduced more recently. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ...

Text Rotation in Word 2007
You can rotate a drawing object (including text boxes) provided its text
wrapping is set to something other than In Line With Text. But rotating a text box will not rotate the text inside it. That can be accomplished using the Text Direction command for the text box, but rotation is permitted only 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. -- Suzanne S.
