rotate text box

[Guest]

How do I rotate a text box 180 degrees?

IIRC, not all versions of PowerPoint support object rotation.

Select the text box, click on Format. Near or at the bottom of this
pulldown, there will be a Format ...X... where X is autoshape, object,
placeholder, textbox, etc. Select that.

(Alternately, you should be able to call up the same menu by double clicking
the textbox or right clicking on the textbox and selecting format ...X...
from that list)

Look for the rotation box under the size tab. If the box is grayed out,
then you can not rotate it. If it is not grayed out, than enter a number
and have at it.

Depends on what version of PPT you are using.
1. PPT 2002/2003 will have a small green 'dot' above the center adjustment
node. Click and drag this to do a freely rotate to any angle desired.
2. Double click text box to bring up properties. Go to the SIZE tab and
manually enter rotation desired.
3. Click the DRAW button >> ROTATE AND FLIP >> select rotation desired.
