Thread: On the side rotating text

On the side Another cool trick with text boxes is rotating text, which also works in
tables. We discussed fairly recently how to use this to create 'tent' place cards, you can achieve some dramatic layout effects. A big text box in the margin of a page
with a title in it adds impact, but make sure you get it right. The bottom of the boxed letters should point at the main text, so if it's in the left margin, run the text bottom to top, and in the right margin, top to bottom (see screen 4). You can get at the text rotation tool in the Format menu or the Text box toolbar (Word 2003 and earlier) or in the Text panel of the Text box, Format ribbon in 2007.
