Vertical placement
On the Common tab of the Format Editor, you can use the text rotation
options to vertically align the fields and text-based objects on your report.
When you select a text rotation of 90 degrees, the text shifts 90 degrees in
a counter-clockwise direction.
When you select a text rotation of 270 degrees, the text shifts 270 degrees
in a counter-clockwise direction.
Note:
• If text rotation is left at 0 degrees, your report is horizontally formatted,
left to right.
• For text rotation of text-based objects, the Can Grow option that prevents
the truncation of text inside an object is automatically cleared. For more
information on the Can Grow option, see
Preventing the truncation of text
inside an object .
• Vertically formatted text that spans over the edge of the page cannot be
displayed as part of your report.
