How do you rotate words on word?

Answer 1

Depending on what sort of rotation you're after, you've got 2 possible options. # Write your words in a text box Select the text box Click the 'format' button, then 'text direction' (you may have to scroll down to find this option). You get the choice of rotating 90 degrees either clockwise or counterclockwise. For more fancy rotations, including having the text going down the page, or to change the shape etc of text, use WordArt - to find it you need to have the drawing toolbar visible. Click on 'view' then hover your mouse over 'toolbars' In the drop-down list that appears, check the box for 'drawing' WordArt appears on the drawing toolbar as a blue capital 'A' which is slightly tilted When you click it, a box appears with some text options Choose any one, then another box will appear for you to write your text in; click OK when you've finished Reselect the text box, & a toolbar appears; the 3rd option from the right is for vertical text. There are loads of other things you can do in WordArt, but they're a bit difficult to explain in a message. I suggest you use Office help - you may even find your way to a tutorial. Oh yeh, all of the above is using M$ Word 2003, but I'd imagine would be vaguely similar on other versions; I still miss my old M$ Publisher ('95) which allowed you to be far more creative!

Answer 2

Rotating a word is beyond the scope of Wordpad. Wordpad is not designed for such uses.

For sophistication in making pages wordpad is not the answer. You must use some other software for that. Wordpad comes free with Windows (yes, Windows doesn't come free) which could help you to just draft a letter. No more; no less
