Default How can I type text from top to bottom on a label?

I'm trying to type labels for the side of binders with text going from top to
bottom on an Avery Label 8366. The label page set up does not turn the
lables in the direction to type top to bottom.

It is not the labels that need to be turned, but the text direction within
them?

If I have a sheet of file folder labels (two columns, 15 labels in each
column), the text direction cannot be changed so that it would read as a side
label on a binder. Hence, the text should look like this in the label:
B
I
N
D
E
R

N
A
M
E

Do you understand what I'm trying to do now?

Thanks.

Rotate the text in the cell (tables toolbar), if necessary set the text
alignment to the centre of the cell and type in the label text pressing
enter after each letter. You will get a column of letters that spell the
words. This is not something that will lend itself to mail merge.
