Text Alignment
Dear All,
I'm using office 2003 and I really face 2 severe problem in the new word: 1. I can't align text vertically at any automatic shape (circle, ...etc) 2. Also I used to rotate any text box or any automatic shape and text get rotated with it. No the shape rotates but the text isn't rotating. Is it a new bad edition at the 2003.??

It has never been possible to rotate text with an AutoShape or within any
text box except 90 degrees left or right. Perhaps you are thinking of Publisher? -- Suzanne S.

Hi, Ibrahim;
Yes you can still do this in Powerpoint 2003. You are posting in the Word forum. They are two different programs. -IanRoy "Ibrahim Awwad" wrote: Dear Suzanne, Thanks for your reply, I'm sure that I was doing this easilly in officeXP specially the powerpoint as I made all my presentations.

Hi, Ibrahim;
I don't know of my own knowledge what was possible in Word XP, as I never used it. But trying the same technique in Word 2003 as I used in Powerpoint 2003, (autoshape from the drawing toolbar, right-click add text, rotate using handle) did not work. The text was independent of the autoshape. In Powerpoint, text boxes could be rotated also, but not in Word. In Word, text within either an autoshape or text box can be rotated in 90 degree increments, but not by rotating the box or shape (it's a button on the Text box toolbar). Regards' Ian.

This is true in all previous versions of Word as well. As far back as Word
2.0 (though there I don't think you could rotate the text at all). -- Suzanne S.
