make text vertical in column header - Business Objects

[dkrauseuf]

In Business Objects 6.1, is it possible to have the text in a column header run vertically as opposed to right to left? I'm basically looking for something similar to the feature in Excel that allows you to choose Format then select alignment and change the orientation of the text...am I missing it in Business Objects or is it even possible?

It's there on the alignement tab. However, it may not work the way you want. If it's grayed out, then it won't work.

There's nothing grayed out on the alignment tab...so unless I'm missing it or misunderstanding something, I'm not sure if it's possible at all. The options in the alignment tab change the position of the text in the cell (center, left, justify, etc.), but none of these options change the way the text runs (essentailly I'd like to see the text rotate 90 degrees). It just might not be a feature business objects can support.

Did you try the settings for the table header? There is a setting somewhere, though the effect is not identical of what is possible with excel..
