Can labels run vertically or at an angle?

[ortley77]

When I add a label to a report, the default orientation is horizontal. Is there a way to make the label read vertically or at a 45 degree angle as in Excel for example? This will save a lot of space when I run my report. Thanks!

Thanks--

The text now runs vertically, but can I change the direction it reads? For example, it reads from top to bottom rather than from bottom to top.

Ortley,

I think you might want to do some simple research in Access. These are easy questions that you can answer simply by looking at a property sheet for example. I would encourage you to do so before posting questions like this as a backup mechanism. Once again, I'm not criticizing you, just giving some friendly advice.

As far as displaying the words in reverse order, no I don't think you can. But you can reverse the string completely with one line of code on a report event if you want which would yield the exact same thing as a built in property.

And, please mark it as solved.
