The first part is normal, usual, letter type, then I want to %26quot;turn%26quot; the page to type my name and phone number numeral times. People should be able to tear off the name and number tabs individually. Hope you understand this.
How do I change the %26quot;paper's direction%26quot; to type verticallly? I am typing an ad for my dog grooming business.
If you are using Microsoft Word this shouldn't be very complicated.
Step 1: use the design tool to draw a rectangle on the bottom of the page (the size you want your name and number %26quot;detachable stickers%26quot; to be)
Step 2: right click on the shape you drawed and select %26quot;add text%26quot;
Step 3: Choose %26quot;format%26quot; from menu bar (the one on top) and then %26quot;text orientation%26quot;, here you can choose horizontal, vertical-left or vertical-right.
Step 4: write the text you want in the rectangle
Step 5: select the rectangle and copy it (either %26quot;right-click and select copy or %26quot;ctrl-c%26quot; from keyboard)
Step 6: paste a copy of the rectangle (right click somewhere on the sheet and select %26quot;paste%26quot; or click %26quot;ctrl-v%26quot; from keyboard)
Step 7: an identical rectangle should now appear on the sheet, drag it where you want this to appear.
Repeat steps 6 and 7 to insert as many rectangles you want to fill the sheet.
Further hint: should you have problems in placining the rectangle exactly where you want it to be, select it (clicking on the border) and then right-click on mouse. From that menu select %26quot;alignment%26quot; and then %26quot;above text%26quot;. This should give you the ability to place the image anywhere you want.
Please note that my Word version is in italian, some translation of the menu structure might not be completely correct. Hope it helped anyway...
Ciao

there are a few ways to do it. one is to use microsoft publisher, theres a way to select a typed are as an editable image, then you can rotate it and paste it however many times you want. The other way is to set your page up using columns, then type in the info in each column and then the column with the phone numbers you select the text and then go to format, and change the text direction. Another way would be to create a bitmap of the phone number %26quot;tabs%26quot; and then rotate that bitmap so its in the direction you want to read, then insert it to the document and set it to be aligned to either the right or left and then you can just copy and paste it all the way down the side.
In MS Word you would insert a 1x5 table. Then highlight the table and select the Format Menu, then the %26quot;Text Direction%26quot; selection.
The Text direction format selection works on text boxes as well.
I assume you are working in something like MS Word, in which case, within an A4 portrait document, I can find no way to rotate text by 90 degrees. Try using Powerpoint, or Publisher, or QuarkXpress, or PageMaker. PowerPoint usually comes as standard in the MS Office suite. Create your document as an A4 portrait page, and when you get to the tear-off slips at the bottom, type your data, select the text box and then use the rotate tool to turn it vertically. When it fits height-wise, copy and paste it as you wish, until it fills the space within the tear-off area.
