Angling TEXT BOX and the TEXT

[kevkennedy79]

How can I angle a text box in Excel but also have the text that is in the text box be angled too? Its easy enough to angle the text box but it leaves the text in the old position and it ends up looking very sloppy

Thanks

Hi
which text box you are talking about?

[kevkennedy79]

I meant one of the auto-shapes, not an actual cell.

Sorry for the confusion

how did you tried to angle the text box, please explain more.

I grab the 'rotate handle' which is a green point just ourside the border and I can rotate the box 360 degrees.

Thanks for your help

text box on the Drawing tool bar cannot be rotated. which one you used in your sheet. please attach Excel sheet in zip format.

that is rectangle that you used and added text by right clicking. you shoud use text box option (it cannot be rotated).
