HELP! If you know MS Word, I need your help

[bertha katzenengel]

I'm using text boxes while creating a chart. I need to set some text at an angle. I already tried grouping then ungrouping so I could rotate. Didn't work.

If you know of some way to do this, either with text boxes or with something that will work in a freehand chart, please let me know and soon! Thanks!

3. if you put your text into a table cell, you can then go to Format, Rotate Text

if not, let me know, I teach Word

4. I'm lying, it's Format, Text Direction.....:)

5. can I pull the one cell from a table and paste it

where I need it?

I gave up for now and sent the doc to my boss with my jerry-rigged solution, but if I know, I can fix it tomorrow.

Thanks!

6. yes, you could have that text in one table cell. and change text direction.

if you paste, just be careful where you are pasting it and what the format of the line or paragraph is. It's always good to have your "show/hide" button pushed in so you can see what's going on on the page...

tables are the best way to do any chart... in Excel, you can't do as many formatting things
