How do I write diagonal text?

[Ronie]

I'd like to write text in Word diagonally. How do I do it?

I don't think Word supports this.
- Usualy watermarks are shown diagonally. If that is what you want, look up
the help files re watermarks.
-Another solution is to insert a WordArt object: you can show text
diagonally but it does not look very professional.
-Use a text box if you want to show text upside down or upside up.
- Embed and Excel sheet: Excel allows you to show text diagonally.

The use of WordArt is the only way, except from making your text a graphic
first.

Yes, it DOES work in WORD!

Switch the Tables & Borders OR the Text Box toolbar on & use the icon(s):
should be visible when the toolbar is visible.

PS: updise down & upside up is also available for text in tables.

No, it doesn't. Text can be rotated 90° to the left or right in a text
box or table cell, but not 180° unless the text is converted to a graphic.

Aren't you talking about showing the text upside down i.e the mirror image? I
was talking about the text shown in a vertical line with the first character
either as the first or the last character in the pile.

 

[garfield-n-odie]

To me, "upside down" and "mirror image" are not the same thing, but
anyway... I and Jezebel and the original poster are talking about
rotating text, while you are talking about something else.

There is a workaround - of sorts - at http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm
