 Posted: Tue Nov 02, 2004 3:50 am Post subject: Rotating page and character 90 degree. |
 |
|
Hi
My problem:
Usually a line with all alphabets are printed from Left to Right with A - Z.
I want to print a page with A-Z,
but A character in the top (rotated 90 degree) and Z character on the bottom of the page (also rotated 90 degree).
Is it possible to create such document using OO write?
Thank you. |

| If you only need that text rotated, and the rest of the page normal, you can use the draw tools in the left toolbar in order to insert a text box, and then change its properties to be rotated in the angle you want. |

What am I missing please? Can you not just type it that way?
A
B
C
...
If text orientation is necessary, then can not the page be printed with landscape orientation? ... Or do you want some mixed text on a single page, some in one orientation and some in another? One approach to that is to create two pages, one for each section, and print twice on the same sheet.

| Type "ZYX...A" then format the characters for rotation 90 degreas. |

Neat! I really have to decide to spend a day or two really looking at the options in this suite.

Hello ftack,
Is the way to accomplish this is by format characters?
If it is then I have some problem (please see this thread: http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=53826#53826).

Shouldn't be a problem. I have used this feature alot over the last couple years.
You could also use draw or impress to do this as well.
