Teacher using spreadsheets wrote:
I am a teacher and take attendance on Excel spreadsheets. I want to
vertically write 'Christmas Holiday" or other wording in some columns. I
would imagine there is a way, perhaps using PowerPointm but I do not know it.
Also I have not been able to find it in 'help'. Any help out there?
