How do I rotate text in excel?

Hi,

Rotate an AutoShape, picture, or WordArt

1. Select the AutoShape (AutoShapes: A group of ready-made shapes that
includes basic shapes, such as rectangles and circles, plus a variety of
lines and connectors, block arrows, flowchart symbols, stars and banners, and
callouts.), picture (pictu A file (such as a metafile) that you can
ungroup and manipulate as two or more objects or a file that stays as a
single object (such as bitmaps).), or WordArt (WordArt: Text objects you
create with ready-made effects to which you can apply additional formatting
options.) you want to rotate.

Note If you don't see the Drawing toolbar in the lower left corner of the
program window, on the View menu point to Toolbars and then click Drawing.

2. Do one of the following:

A. Rotate to any angle

1. Drag the rotate handle on the object in the direction you want to rotate
it.
Note If you don't see a rotate handle, on the Drawing toolbar, in the lower
left corner of the program window, click Draw, point to Rotate or Flip, and
then click Free Rotate.

2. Click outside the object to set the rotation.

B. Rotate 90 degrees to the left or 90 degrees to the right

On the Drawing toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use
to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools
menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.), click Draw, point to Rotate or Flip,
and then click Rotate Left or Rotate Right.

Tip

To constrain the rotation of the object to 15-degree angles, hold down SHIFT
while you drag the rotate handle.
