Insert a vertical label

You can use a vertical label to display read-only text at a 90-degree angle. For example, you can insert vertical label text into the column headings in a repeating table to save space.

Note  A vertical label is an expression box control with the Display text vertically property selected by default.

1. In design mode, place the insertion point where you want to insert the vertical label.
2. If the Controls task pane is not visible, click More Controls on the Insert menu.
3. Under Insert controls, click Vertical Label.
4. In the Text box in the Insert Vertical Label dialog box, type the text that you want.
5. To test the vertical text, click Preview Form on the Standard toolbar.
