Hi enertika,

You can create the text in a image editor software and insert a picture with the text.

It's a way.

I hope it can helps.

Just be sure the TextBox and Label are set to allow several lines (Multiline=True for TextBox) (WordWrap=True for Label)and then use vbCrLf to change line like this:

Text1 = Text1 & vbCrLf
Label1 = Label1 & vbCrLf
 
cowski (or his link) has the right idea. The answer is to use the Windows API, which has text rotation functions.

MHendler's solution does not allow for the text changing.
The Wade/Gaba solution is a nasty kludge, and does not rotate the letters.
