How do you rotate text on card? I need to run text vertically in a button but can't seem to find a way to rotate text either on a button or as a label.

Hi, I don't think there is any way to display flds or labels other than horizontally.
You could use images (of the text) instead--much harder to do if users can change the text, but still possible.

Couldn't a non-opaque field that overlies an unnamed pushbutton do the job? You can make the field contain one char per line, and group both objects. It would look the same, and could respond to the usual mouseUp et. al. stuff.

Or did you mean you want the text itself to be on its side? That would need an image, I think, as Steve said.

Go to www.tactilemedia.com

Click on "software" and then "tutorials & demos" and you'll find a bunch of free stacks including one called "Text Spinner". As Steve suggested, it uses images, and well worth a look.

good luck!
