Printing A Serrated Border

[John Gregory]

I've made a flyer to sell a car and intend to tack it to a public bulletin
board at a local grocery store. Everything looks fine ... except the bottom
margin in which I had to handwrite my phone number in tiny rectangles
sideways every half inch. I plan to cut the border between each rectangle to
make the resulting strip of paper easy to tear off since the only thing
holding it in place will be the half inch at the top of the little
rectangle.

I'd like to make this look neater but I don't know how to put the text
sideways at the bottom. Can someone please give me a thumbnail sketch of how
it's done or steer me in the right direction please?

I would probably use Word and put a single row, multiple column table at the
bottom of the page and use the text direction function to make it vertical. In
PowerPoint I'd probably create a rectangle, type text in it and then rotate it
and duplicate it multiple times. Then I would align all of the rectangles at
the bottom of the slide.

Thank you. The rectangles worked. There isn't a way to replicate those
rectangles quicker than via copy/paste, one at a time is there?

I select the object with the text in it, do Ctrl + C and then Ctrol + V about 10
times rapidly. Takes about 6 seconds.
