Rotating text-box word 2007..

[Luke]

Hi

On the old word, you could get a text box, and drag it by the green dot, and roate it, but on word 2007, there isn't a green dot. So how can you rotate it, because i need it at a 45 degree angle.

+rep to help

Thanks

I have a green dot above a picture, and I use Office 2007. Just checked.

Can't you right click it and go into options and do it from there? You will have to type in the angle you want it rotated by manually though

I don't know why you haven't got one then, because I do (screenshot). Maybe it depends on what type of office you have like Home and Student etc but that'd be ridiculous.

I think you need to right click on the picture and do it that way unless you can find the green dot?!

[Luke]

this isn't about a picture, i do have a dot above the picture, ot's about a textbox...

You can't apparently...

As you can see the rotate isn't allowed? :p



you can draw a normal box (Square or whatever) then you can rotation then right click and enter text?

I've found a way :D

ok, draw the textbox, and format it for how you want, (as you won't be able to cahnge it later). Next, copy the textbox. On the home tab on the ribbon, where it has the paste button, click the down black arrow underneith it, and click "Paste Special". When a box cmoes up, click picture (windows metafile). And now, you can rotate it, as it acts like a picture xD

That's how i done it anyway :D
Thanks to everyone that bothered to post.
