Default Vertical text on a page

I want to create a handbook which has the title of each section running
vertically down the left or right side of each page. How do I do this? I'm
using Microsoft Word (part of 2003 Professional edition of MS Office).

You do vertical text by inserting a textbox or frame, then choosing 'Text
Direction' from the Format menu. For your purposes, use a textbox anchored
to the header.

You do a running head by applying a specific style -- that's not used for
anything else -- to your section titles, then using a StyleRef field in the
running head.

I'm sorry, this doesn't make sense to me. Can you go into more detail on how
to create the vertical header?

Thanx,
Arlene
