How to I incrementally rotate inserted text within a shape?
I inserted a shape to the side of my text body. Then, I added text to the
shape and clicked on "text direction" to align the text sideways in the shape. Now, I want to rotate both the shape and the text together to about a 25 degree angle. How do I do that? |

How to I incrementally rotate inserted text within a shape?
In Word you can't - the shape can be rotated but the text is restricted to
one of the Text Direction options, which normally doesn't deliver the desired result. But you do have at least 2 options: Create the text as WordArt, stack it atop the shape, then select & Group the 2 objects, or Do the whole thing in another program (such as PowerPoint) then copy & use Edit Paste Special in Word using one of the Picture options. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Peppermint Patty" Peppermint wrote in message ...

Now, I want to rotate both the shape and the text together to about a 25 degree angle. How do I do that? I want to rotate a shape including its text. Is it clear? A shape and its text, together. I don't want to cut and paste it (paste special) as a picture, A SHAPE AND ITS TEXT TOGETHER. OK? Ctrl+X and then Paste Special and paste it as a picture is NOT the answer, it's just erasing the main question, and the main question is: HOW I CAN ROTATE A SHAPE AND ITS TEXT, TOGETHER IN WORD 2007, NOT ONLY THE SHAPE? AND I DON'T WANT TO PASTE IT SPECIAL. Did you understand SIR? |

Word cannot do what you ask. If you don't like the suggested workarounds, you need to use a different product that will work in this manner - eg Publisher. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
