Default Orientation of text in an autoshape

In Excel 2003, I have a rectangle that is tall and thin. I want to put
some text inside it, but I need the text oriented 90 degrees in the
rectangle. Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks,

Tonso

I will assume a recatngle fro the Drawing Toolbar.

Right-click on the edge of the rectangle and "Format Autoshape" and on
Alignment tab choose your orientation.
