free rotate text within a shape
Nope. If you reshape a WordArt object so that the text has a "normal" shape,
instead of a psychedelic on, you can free rotate it there. If you have too much text or if a WordArt object isn't quite right, you'd need to convert the text into a graphic.To do this, select the text box by clicking the outside border/edge, and press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard. Choose Edit - Paste Special, and paste the contents of the clipboard into the document as Picture (Windows Metafile). Set the wrapping (method depend on which version of Word you're using... Windows XP doesn't tell me what version of Office you're using; but you should be able to double click the object then choose the Layout tab) so that it's something like behind text or in front of text, and you should now be able to rotate it using the green handle. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Emory" wrote in message ... using windows xp, Would like to know if you can rotate text within a shape to match the rotated angle of the shape.

Glad to help. Which solution did you use? WordArt, or pasting the clipboard
contents as a picture? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Emory" wrote in message ...
