Rotating Text

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. You can rotate text 90 or 270 degrees.

To rotate text

  1. Right-click the report object and select Format Field.
  2. In the Common tab, select the degree of rotation in the Text Rotation field.

    Note

    • When you select a text rotation of 90 degrees, the text shifts 90 degrees in a counter-clockwise direction.
    • If text rotation is left at 0 degrees, your report is horizontally formatted.
    • 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 Truncated Text.
    • Vertically formatted text that spans over the edge of the page cannot be displayed as part of your report.
