Keep a shape's text horizontal

Anonymous

I followed the advice in another forum for keeping a shape's text horizontal:

http://www.office-forums.com/rotating-shape-but-keeping-text-horizontal-t1632923.html

Unfortunately, when I enter the formula ANG360(-Angle) in the TxtAngle field of the Text Transform section, then rotate the shape, the text still rotates with the shape.  Does anyone know what I could possibly be doing wrong, and how to get the text to stay horizontal?

Thanks.

    Thanks to all for the help.

    With the problem I was having, the text angle was not responsive to ANY value entered in TxtAngle.

    I reinstalled Visio.  Now it seems to work (i.e., text stays horizontal) for the formula "=Angle" – without the minus sign!
