That feature is only available for text inside a table. If you can arrange
your text inside a table, you can use it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

You can also put the text in a text box or AutoShape & change the Text
Direction. Using a shape also gives you flexibility to position as desired as well as choice of border/fill. Another option is to use Word Art, which can also be free-rotated.

The Text Direction command is available for text in a table cell, frame, or
text box; text in an AutoShape is a special type of text box. WordArt is not really "text," but it can be manipulated in many more ways than ordinary text. If you want all the text in your document rotated, set the page layout to landscape. -- Suzanne S.
