Text rotation of 45 degrees 2

[lawlerpat]

It appears as if the only options for text object rotation are 0, 90, and 270 (for version 8.0).
I am wanting to put a bunch of column headings on a 45 degree slant.
Has anyone figures out a way to do this?

Thanks

Yes, but since you are using CR8 it will work only if your field is 21 characters or less long. Set the font to a monospace type and set the field to "Can Grow"
===================================================
stringvar header:="Up to 21 characters!";//your field here
numbervar loop;
numbervar loopnum:=length(header);
stringvar out;
stringvar hold;
for loop:= 1 to loopnum do(
stringvar return;
if loop=loopnum then return:="" else return:=chr(13);

(out:=replicatestring(" ",loop-1)+header[loop] ;
hold:=hold+out+return));
hold
