Rotate text box in Word 2010

Solved

Hello,

I have Word 2010 and I want to rotate a text box and the text inside it at the same time...
I see in all the tutorials that Word 2010 does it automatically :-) But for me, it doesn't work. I must have a wrong setting somewhere, but I can't find it.
I would appreciate a little help.
Thank you
Oliver

Configuration: Windows 7 / Opera 9.80

Hello,

The first thing to check: could you be in Compatibility mode, meaning in a document saved in doc format and not docx?
The rotation of the zdt with the text cannot be done in Compatibility mode.

Otherwise, check the format of your text box: right-click on the box => format shape
Text box tab => the option "Do not rotate text" must be unchecked (it is unchecked by default).

Thank you M@rina.
I was in compatibility mode and the "do not rotate text" box was checked.
I'll get you back.

Thank you, Marina. Now that I know I'm in accounting mode, can I make a change so that I can finally rotate my text as I wish?
