Syntax

expression   Required. A variable that represents a TextFrame object.

Remarks

Some of the MsoTextOrientation constants may not be available to you, depending on the language support (U.S. English, for example) that you have selected or installed.

You can set the orientation for a text frame or for a range or selection that happens to occur inside a text frame. For information about the difference between a text frame and a text box, see the TextFrame object.

Example

This example creates a new document, inserts text into it, uses this text to create a text box, and then sets the orientation of the text frame so that the text slopes upward.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Set mydoc = Documents.Add
Selection.TypeText "This is some text."
mydoc.Content.Select
Selection.CreateTextbox
mydoc.Shapes(1).TextFrame.Orientation = msoTextOrientationUpward
