Rotate Answers in a Field

By default, answers in fields appear in horizontal rows and can be read from left to right. You can rotate text so answers will read from bottom to top, top to bottom, or upside-down from right to left.

  2. Select the fields you want to rotate. (See Select a Field.)
  3. Click the Field PropertiesField Properties button. The Field Properties dialog box appears.
