As Suzanne has indicated, this is not possible in Word, but it is fairly
simple to do in Publisher, if you have that application or feel inclined to
try it.

We'll have to wait for JoAnn to weigh in to tell us whether rotated text can
be used in a mail merge, however.

I don't see how it could be. Well, maybe if catalog merge was used and the
rotated text was saved as a graphic. But that sure seems like a lot of work
done for whatever reason.

What "could" be done would be to start with whatever label or envelop you
were going to use, insert a text box, rotate that, and then merge your data
into that.

I was very curious what the heck the OP was going for tho.

I assumed he wanted to insert a rotated merge field, so that the data, when
merged, would be rotated.

It can certainly be done in Publisher - I tested it before responding
originally - but there is no way practical way to do it in Word.
