how do I type a name sideways on left side of paper

[Guest]

A long time ago I was able to type my name sideways on the left side of the
paper for a resume. I got alot of compliments on it, and now that I'm looking
for another job, I would like to be able to do it again. I would really
appreciate any help I could get.

Click Insert > Text Box and draw a long box in the left margin. On the Text
Box toolbar, click the Text Direction button once or twice, depending on
whether you want the text to run top to bottom or bottom to top. Use Format

Text Box to turn off the box border or make other changes.

This would also be possible with a one-cell table instead of a text box.

You could insert a text box in the margin of your page and type your name.
Then highlight your name and click on Format and Text Direction. I hope this
has been helpful to you.
