How can I change the text direction in vertical label in access?

[Guest]

I have searched a lot inside Access help, but I still haven't found out how
to change the label text direction when in vertical position. I'd appreciate
if someone could solve this out.

I don't believe the built-in label can do this.

Hi Bernardo

To make a label or text field vertical call up the label properties in
design view, go to the 'other' tab and change the vertical option from no to
yes.

I hope this helps - note if your using 2003 and ie7 the text will disappear!
It's a known issue! Vertical works fine with 2000 and IE7 (on my back up
system).

A few others have commented the problem is fixed by removing ie7 - I haven't
tried this yet
