A couple of more options.

You could insert a WordArt drawing object and manipulate that the way you want.

Insert|Picture|WordArt

Or

You can type what you want in a range
then select that range
edit|copy
select the new location
shift-edit|paste picture link

Then rotate that picture the way you want.

Hi. I use Excel to make file tabs for our vertical file cabinet. I create
an entire sheet, which we then cut out.

I type the label names in the second, fourth, sixth, etc row, and link to
those labels in the first, third, fifth, etc row. (so that I don't need to
type twice)

I leave the two duplicated labels attached, and fold it over, to have the
text printed on both sides (so that you can read the labels no matter which
side you approach the cabinet from). The only problem is that the text on
one side is now upside down.

The text rotation option will only let you rotate 90° in either direction -
how do I rotate 180°?
