MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2007Vertical text question
I am trying to create a template to print CD inlays* but have failed to discover how to print text rotated by 90 deg for the edges of the inlay. The text box feature does not allow rotation. Ideas anyone? * A CD inlay is a single page inserted into the back of a CD box. It has three sections namely a central area 13.7 x 11.7 cm for the back of the box plus two areas 0.5 x 11.7 cm contiguous with the central area for text visible on the edges of the CD box. Thanks. >I am trying to create a template to print CD inlays* but have failed to >discover how to print text rotated by 90 deg for the edges of the inlay.

Publisher is better, if you have it, but if you are serious about creating CD covers, you should look at Surething CD Labelling software which is first class. If you have Nero as your CD writing software, it includes Cover Designer, a neat labelling application (though it is nowhere near as easy to use as Surething).

Thank you Graham. I am trying to use a table, the problem I have is centering the text in the edge cells. The cells are only 0.5cm x 11.7 cm and I cannot centre the text vertically within the cell (I am using the word vertical to mean at 90 deg. to the text direction i.e. the 0.5cm direction). Only about half of the cell in this direction seems to be available for text. > Use a three cell table in which you can rotate the text, but Word would > not be my tool of choice for this task.

Check the cell internal margins - and use CTRL+E to centre text. - I did say Word was a poor application for CD box labels!

Brilliant! thank you again Graham, not easy to do but an interesting challenge. I will take a look at Surething when I have a moment on your recommendation.

Did you try Format | Text Direction? If you want more, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/drwgrphcs/upsidedowntext.htm.
