Syntax

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: Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState
Remarks
If the WordArt has horizontal text, setting the RotatedChars property to msoTrue rotates the characters 90 degrees counterclockwise. If the WordArt has vertical text, setting the RotatedChars property to msoFalse rotates the characters 90 degrees clockwise. Use the ToggleVerticalText() method to switch between horizontal and vertical text flow.
The Flip(MsoFlipCmd) 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.
The value returned by the RotatedChars property can be one of the following MsoTriState constants:
