When you use PowerPoint 2000's help, and enter "vertical text" on the Answer Wixard tab, this comes up:

"Language-specific information

Select the object containing the text to be changed.

On the Formatting toolbar, click Change Text Direction .
Note The conversion to vertical text applies to all of the text within the selected text object. Paragraphs can't be selected individually.

Tips

You can also change existing text to vertical text: On the Format menu, click Colors and Lines. On the Text Box tab, select the Rotate text within AutoShape by 90° check box.

You can add a text box that uses vertical text. On the Drawing toolbar, click Vertical Text Box , drag the text box to the size you want, and then type the text you want. "

I looked all over my PowerPoint 2000, and can not find a "Change Text Direction" nor a "Vertical Text Box" button.

What gives?
