If you know the specific number of degrees you want to rotate the text, type the number directly into the “Degrees” edit box, or use the spinner arrow buttons to select a number. The number of degrees of the rotation displays in the “Degrees” edit box. To rotate the text, click on any point along the semicircle in the “Orientation” box. The “ Alignment” tab automatically displays. Another solution is to create the vertical text in a cell in Excel. First of all, select the cell where you need to enter it. There are four fixed settings in the orientation menu for common options. A keyboard shortcut key is a quick and simple way to add this symbol in a cell. Excel allows you to rotate text up to 90 degrees both clockwise and counterclockwise. The text is rotated in the chosen direction in the selected cells.įor more fine- tune control when rotating your text, highlight the cells containing the text you want to rotate and click the “Alignment Settings” button in the lower-right corner of the “Alignment” section of the “Home” tab. You could add a shape, remove Outline, remove fill, add text and rotate Solucion. Change the text orientation to 90 degrees, or any angle of your choice if you want the text to slant (see circled area in the example to the right). Add a Degree Symbol using a Keyboard Shortcut. The icons to the left of the options show which way the text will rotate. Make sure the “Home” tab is active and click the “Orientation” button in the “Alignment” section of the “Home” tab (the button with the slanted text). To rotate the text in cells, first highlight the cells you that contain the text you want to rotate. This also allows you to fit more columns of data in a smaller area. NOTE: We used Excel 2013 to illustrate this feature.
