Access 2010 Web Database - Can I rotate Text

[mkenyon2]

I'm laying out a form, and would like a couple sections/cells/labels of text run verticaly instead of horizontaly. I've heard there was a Verticle = True option, but haven't seen it. Any tips/thoughts/ideas? 90 degrees is fine, don't need anything fancy.

Property Sheet -> Other -> Vertical -> Yes.
Let us know if that works.

Vertical is not an option under Other for that label.
This is a Web Database, and many features do not exist... thus I am feeling hopeless on this one.
Here are my thoughts:

Once upon a time Access and Sharepoint got together at a party. They got really drunk. REALLY DRUNK. 1 month later, Access realized she had a problem. So, she got drunk again.

8 months of drinking later (there had to have been a lot of alcohol involved) out came Access Web databases. Sort of looking like an Access database, and relying on Sharepoint for child support (though Sharepoint tries to claim it had nothing to do with the matter) Web Databases limp around with one leg too short, and its arm sticking out of its head.

Seriously... If you're going to release a product to bridge two worlds, at least let it resemble a bridge.

I guess my sarcasm was a little over the top, but still, I can't rotate the text in cells in an Access 2010 Web Database form. (Not a regular Access database, a Web database.)

The only workaround I can think of would be

1. Create a Label
2. Enter the Caption
3. Set the Font to a mono-spaced Font, such as Courier New
4. Using the mouse, select the Label and Decrease the Width/ Increase the Height until the Caption is showing only one character per line.

You could do the same thing with a Textbox Control by assigning a String as the Default Value while you're doing your adjusting of the Width and Height. You'd have to use a String with the number of characters you project would be the maximum ever needed.
