I'll try to tackle this one. Thanks for the suggestion Thanks for taking a look at this. Any progress on it? None but I have a friend who I hope is going to help me out. The code isn't nearly as straight forward as you'd think/hope. When we implement a change I hope to allow any rotation not just the three (90, 180, 270), so we need to dig deeper into the code. After 4.0 releases and QA work has calmed down a bit, I'll dedicate a bit more time to this and hopefully figure something out. Sorry for the delay, only so many hours in a day :) That sounds pretty ambitious! All I want to do is print upside down on a folded greeting card. Thanks for the reply.

Ideally, the four compass points should have a radio button (0, 90, 180, 270 degrees): that's the real need. "Infinite" rotation (user definable) would be lovely some day, but not nearly so important. *Also* note that used in tables, the rotated text should still respect cell boundaries. At the moment, if you rotate text 90 or 270, then a "paragraph" will become a single line, as neither soft line-breaks, nor hard paragraph-breaks are respected. (Should this be filed as a separate bug?) Very much looking forward to this enhancement/bug-fix coming through! Thank you. Unfortunately I just haven't had the time to solve this bug - if I make any progress I will report back but until then setting back to default and NEW Just want to add a +1, especially to all the points in comment 5. It would be great great great to get that 180 radio button. Thanks! I am unassigning myself from this - despite what might be seen as an easy hack - it's a very very hard hack that is well beyond my skills. I had another developer friend of mine look and she even said it was pretty tough (she's been in the industry for 5 years) - so as a hobbiest, just beyond my skillset. Sorry all |
