You can copy and Paste Special as Picture, but it won't look quite like real
text. A better approach is to use WordArt (which also never looks quite like
ordinary text, but it's a lot easier to work with).

Thanks Su,
I had looked in Wordart but that seems to give me only
set designes which look very mickey mouse to me.
I'll try this copy paste thing, but there must be a way
to capture an elaborate design made from letters into a
graphic and then enhance it further.
Wordart is kids stuff.
But thanks again
Carl

Hi Carl,

If you only want to rotate your text in 90deg increments, you can put into a
text box. Once there, you get options for changing the text direction.
Compared to picture conversions, this has the advantage of much higher
resolution and the text remains editable.

Cheers
