Default Text Orientation?

Can anyone help? this is probably a simple query, but right now I am
struggling!!! I would like to add text to a graphic, but I would like to
slant the text upwards! Easy in Excel! But can I do it in Word? I have
copied and pasted from Excel (as a Picture) but cant believe that it is not
possible in Word itself? Any tips gratefully received.

In Excel, make the cell containing our text the active cell and then press
Shift then click Edit + Copy Picture; in the dialogue that appears, select As
Shown when printed (this removes the cell boundaries from your copy, asuming
that you have not switched this option on).
In Word, click Edit + Paste Special and then OK.

You may need to increase the size of the picture in Word to make the text
clearer.

Hi Wendy,

Believe it. You can rotate text 90 degrees in either direction. For any
other angle, WordArt or pasting in from another application are the only
methods.
