Note that you can also rotate text in a frame, though you have to use the
Format | Text Direction command, as there's no toolbar with that button on
it, and it's not on the shortcut menu.

Insert a text box or a one-cell table. Right-click the empty paragraph
mark inside it and choose Text Direction to turn it 90 degrees. You
can turn off the borders if you don't want them.
For text that isn't turned 90 degrees, a frame is better -- see
