If I need to rotate the whole text box, normally I convert my ready text box
into graphics. Copy the text box, Paste Special, and select Enhanced
Metafile. Of course, such method has obvious limitation, ie the text in the
"converted text box" cannot be edited anymore.

How do I rotate a text box in Word - not the text direction, but the
whole box.

Opening the 'format text box' window and clicking the 'size' tab,
shows a rotation box underneath the 'height & width' set boxes but it
is greyed out.
How do I make it active?

Hope you can help.
