Actually, I found a simple way to do it (Word 2007):
1. Create the text box with what ever text you want in it.
2. Copy the text box (Ctrl-C) and do a special paste (Ctrl-Alt-v)
selecting "Picture (Windows Metafile)"
3. Drag the rotate handle on top of the box (funny line sticking up from
the box) to put the image at any angle you want.
