Vertical Caption

Hello Richard,

Is there any way to change the orientation of the caption in a Command Button so it reads vertically instead of horizontally? There doesn't appear to be a property in the Property Sheet that will accomplish this.

Nope.

	Richard Rost @Reply 6 years ago
Haha. That was the short answer. Long answer is you would have to make your own button in something like Word or PowerPoint, rotate it 90 degrees, and then put it into your Access database as an image. Actually, this would make a neat TechHelp video. I think I'll add it to the list. :)

Image would work but it's a lot of extra work.

	Richard Rost @Reply 6 years ago
Yeah, but if you want a certain look and feel for your form, it's worth it. As long as you don't have to change it often. I don't know of any way to rotate text in Access. You can do it in Word and Excel, but Access is always treated like the red-headed stepchild in the Office family. :(
