Screenshot of textbox rotated 90 degrees by method a
A user posted a question about this on the forum, and I was able to reproduce
it on my system.
To reproduce:
1. In Powerpoint 2007, type some text in a textbox.
2. Rotate the textbox 90 degrees either by
   a) grabbing the green circle at the top center of the box with the mouse
pointer and moving it, or
   b) selecting text direction from the ribbon, then selecting rotate 90
degrees or rotate 270 degrees
In either case, both the box and text within it rotate, but the text is
squished together (see screenshots). This only affects text rotated exactly 90
or 270 degrees--any other angle displays properly.
There is a third way to rotate text in Powerpoint, and that does display
properly: select text direction=>more options=>3D rotation, and enter 90 or 270
in the z-axis box. The difference seems to be that when doing it that way, only
the text is rotated, not the text box.
