Change the Orientation of Text in Microsoft Word 2003
It's great, but when I do, it's very hard to read/edit. Is there any way to tell Word 2003 to rotate the page display so the text is horizontal?

Some machines can rotate the display. Google NVIDIA ROTATE for example.
I have a display that can be rotated, but that means mouse movement is at 90 degrees, and the toolbars are too. Maybe some people can work that way, but not me. I use rotated text for CD and DVD case inserts, and I usually copy the text to a blank page without rotation to get it ready, then copy it into the rotated table. I need the displayed page to be rotated, but not the rest of the desktop. Maybe one day . . .
Sort of a Sistine Chapel ceiling painting effort. I'm finding folk expect easy to use software today but not yet. I guess one could use a CD/DVD label program which is what I use.
However one person was done when they starting to use Word's own text boxes which let you do a little more. Tutorials on Word are all over so take another look at text boxes.
