Problem

Solutions: The steps below will allow users to create a table that contains both portrait and landscape text.

1.      Create a Table.
2.      Place the cursor in the desired cell and then create a User Box with Anchor Type set to Character (Alt-F9, 4, 1, 4, 3).
3.      Press 9 to edit in the Definition menu.
4.      Enter any codes (e.g., font codes, attributes).
5.      Press Alt-F9 to rotate and then choose 2 for 90 degrees or 4 for 270 degrees.
6.      Press F7 to exit.
7.      Press 7 to set the size, select option 2 for Set Height/Auto Width, and then enter the measurement for the longest word.
8.      Press 9 again to edit, then type the desired text.
9.      Press F7 twice to exit to the document.

Users may receive the error "Too Much Text" and lose the size of the box if the above steps are not followed in the order they are given.

Below are some tips that might be helpful in creating this table:
-      It works best to set a row height.

-      Place a graphics box option code before the table that will set Outside Border Space to 0" and Inside Border Space to 0". If the cell is .5" wide, set the box width to .32" because the cell has a border space of .833" on the top and sides.

-      When shading the cell, expand the user box to the lines of the cell so shading will cover the entire cell.

-      Use an Advance code to center the text in the box. To center 16pt text in a .5" wide cell, advance down .75". To center 12pt text in a .5" wide cell, advance down 1".
