If/when you need to change the text and re-align, just run the script again (it can stretch the text box out to accommodate overflowing content, as well as shrinking it down), and align again.

Easy answer: create a clear (no fill, no stroke) rectangle as a wrapper that exactly overlaps each text box, send it to back, group each text-box/wrapper-rectangle pair, then do stepd 3 and 4 below in isolation mode (double click the group).

If you're bottom aligning, that might not be so easy as you probably don't want it right flush against any container.

You also might want to play around with the align to area in the bottom right part of the palette. If you want a text to be centered vertically with the image holder, select the items you want to align and use the align pallet.

Here's the best I've found, along similar lines to Yisela's but a bit more automated: Hold down Shift, select the text boxes that you want to group together, and then select Shape Format.As Yisela explains, you need a workaround. When you group text boxes, you are combining them so that you can format, move, or copy them as a group. Select Rotate Left 90° to rotate the object 90 degrees to the left. Select Rotate Right 90° to rotate the object 90 degrees to the right. Ok, this response is somewhat late, but I may have found an answer to what seems to be the issue. To alter its format, click on the usual tools on the Home tab. You can also use the arrows to rotate the object exactly where you want. In Office for Mac 2011, if you click on the text box frame then right click, select edit text to alter it. If you don't see the Rotate button, select Arrange to see hidden buttons in the Arrange group.Įnter the amount that you want to rotate the object in the Rotation box. The Rotate button could be hidden if your screen size is reduced. If you don't see the Shape Format, make sure that you selected a text box. Under 3-D Rotation, set X Rotation to 180°. Select Text Effects > 3D Rotation > 3D Rotation Options. When you rotate multiple shapes, they do not rotate as a group, but instead each shape rotates around its own center.Īlternatively you can select the object, hold down Option and press the left or right arrow keys to rotate. To constrain the rotation to 15-degree angles, press and hold Shift while you drag the rotation handle. Select the rotation handle at the top of the text box, and then drag in the direction that you want. To add text to a text box, click or tap inside the text box, and then type or paste. Select in the document, and then drag to draw the text box the size that you want. For more info on inserting a text box, see Add, copy, or remove a text box in Word Go to Insert > Text Box and then select either Draw Text Box (where the text aligns horizontally on the page) or Vertical Text Box (where the text aligns vertically on the page). Note: To rotate text in Word for Mac, you must first place the text in a text box, and then rotate the text box.
