Upside Down / Inverted / Vertical text on a report
Hi.
I have a report that mimic a form (the paper kind, not the Access kind) that needs to be filled out with the data in my (Access 2000) system. I have an image of the form that I placed in my report. The problem: Some of the data needs to be printed sideways. The vertical property displays the text vertically - BUT only in one direction (ie: the letters go from the top right corner and down the right side. Based on the form - I need the letters to display vertically from the bottom left corner and up the left side. I also have some straight horizontal text that needs to be printed. If I keep the vertical property as is, then the horizontal text needs to be printed upside down! The question: Is there a way to custom-rotate or force a text box (with my data, of course) to print either vertically (the OTHER vertical way, not the one Access provides) OR to print a text box, again with data) upside down? Any clues would be appreciated! Aliza -- ----------------------------------- Aliza Klein ----------------------------------- |

Upside Down / Inverted / Vertical text on a report
I have also had a problem with this issue. I got around it by
creating a text box in Microsoft Word, typed in my text, rotated the text, copied the text box to the clipboard, then finally pasted it into my form design. Hope this helps. |
