MsoTrue if characters in the specified WordArt are rotated 90 degrees relative to the WordArt's bounding shape. MsoFalse if characters in the specified WordArt retain their original orientation relative to the bounding shape.
Namespace: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Assembly: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Property RotatedChars As MsoTriState
Get
Set
'Usage
Dim instance As TextEffectFormat
Dim value As MsoTriState
value = instance.RotatedChars
instance.RotatedChars = value
MsoTriState RotatedChars { get; set; }
Property Value
Type: MsoTriState
Remarks
MsoTriState can be one of these MsoTriState constants:
msoCTrue
msoFalse
msoTriStateMixed
msoTriStateToggle
msoTrue
If the WordArt has horizontal text, setting the RotatedChars property to True rotates the characters 90 degrees counterclockwise. If the WordArt has vertical text, setting the RotatedChars property to False rotates the characters 90 degrees clockwise. Use the ToggleVerticalText method to switch between horizontal and vertical text flow.
The Flip method and Rotation property of the Shape object and the RotatedChars property and ToggleVerticalText method of the TextEffectFormat object all affect the character orientation and direction of text flow in a Shape object that represents WordArt. You may have to experiment to find out how to combine the effects of these properties and methods to get the result you want.
