90 degree text and field rotation

[dossa]

IWP doesn't seem to like rotated text. I am trying to publish some simple bar graphs that use rotated fields of |'s to make the bars. The fields themselves seem to be rotated but the contents aren't.

I tested this with plain text and the same thing happens.

Any ideas? Maybe an alternate way of making simple bar vertical bar charts that don't involve rotated fields.

Howdy, M! Well, if nothing else comes to mind you can just alter the poorman's tactic to use undescore characters ___ followed by returns, but it won't be as tight, even using a small font size.

I suppose you could just change the ratio, though to compensate, i.e. instead of 1:1, maybe 1:10 or something and just put the value (32) at the top line.

I have had that problem as well. Additionally, my lines, drawn with the FM tools, do not show up in the Web browser. I have started using graphics for my rotated text (I use Fireworks) and the square form tool for "lines" (that is, draw the box as long as you want the line and just make it 1 pixel wide.) Go figure.
