Not too sure what you are trying to acheive, but if your report will not fit vertically, develop it as a landscape version, and set your printer to print landscape.
This means your report will print effectivly North/South as opposed to East/West.
Hope this helps.

Hi Kitnba,
AFAIK, there isnt a way to rotate text on a report. You may be able to find a font that has rotated characters and use that as the font of your field. If you do, I would like to hear about it.
If you are wanting text to print down the page(as in your example above), use a fixed length font, like Courier, and make the width of the field equal to one character. Make the height of the field great enough to accomodate your longest string.

If you are really willing to put a lot of time and experimentation into this, and you have Microsoft Office, you can probably create a WordArt object (possibly on the fly, using COM automation) and put it on the report as an OLE object.
