As far as I remember this is a split answer.
IE allows for changing the direction on the text to vertical with a custom style attribute, so in the header you would need to change the text to be an html elemet with the text inside. If your column name is FixedPortal, you would change the Header.Caption to be:
<DIV style="WRITING-MODE: tb-rl">FixedPortal </DIV>
Hi Darrell
I'm trying to accomplish this same look. I tried the code in the Header.Caption field per your response and it did not work. I've found that sometimes other properties need to be set before a feature will work.
Can you think of anything else I need to set to get some vertical text in a header? I'm using IE 7.0
Thanks!
Terry
UPDATE: Please cancel this request. After debugging the project a couple of times the vertical text showed up correctly. I don't recall touching anything else but I am working on about 6 features at the same time.
Vertical text working fine! Thank you.
