Then you can rotate the text box, which has the same effect as rotating the table. I am an unpaid volunteer and do not work for Microsoft. 'Independent Advisors' work for contractors hired by Microsoft. May 21, 2018 Hi RLC0601, You may go to Word>Preference>View>Show in Document>check if Field Codes instead of values is selected. If yes, clear the check box and check the result. Or go to the footer>right click the codes>select Toggle Filed Codes and check the result.

My question is not about how to rotate text with Java2D; I know how to do that. What I don't know is how to make the rotated text 'look good.' For example, if you create a text box in PowerPoint and rotate it, the text appears sharp and clear no matter the rotation angle. However, text drawn with
g2D.drawString()
looks okay at 0 or 90 degrees but not so good at other angles. Is there a way to manipulate the text to clean or sharpen it up? If so, then if someone could point me to where look to learn how to do this I would be so thankful.Below is a little program that illustrates what I'm talking about. The bigger font isn't too bad when rotated but still doesn't look very professional. The smaller font when rotated is terrible.

I once had a similar problem, and solved it by drawing the text with high precision to an image, then drawing the rotated image.
Here's the code:

I haven't got the time to test this but will the following code help?:
This will only work on Graphics2D. If you're using normal Graphics you can cast your Graphics object to the 2D version like so:

If you have a spreadsheet where the text in your column headings (not the lettered column headings) is longer than the text in the columns, and there are a lot of columns, you may want to rotate the text in your headings so the columns become narrower.
NOTE: We used Excel 2013 to illustrate this feature.
This also allows you to fit more columns of data in a smaller area. To rotate the text in cells, first highlight the cells you that contain the text you want to rotate. Make sure the “Home” tab is active and click the “Orientation” button in the “Alignment” section of the “Home” tab (the button with the slanted text). Select an option to rotate the text. The icons to the left of the options show which way the text will rotate.
The text is rotated in the chosen direction in the selected cells.

For more fine-tune control when rotating your text, highlight the cells containing the text you want to rotate and click the “Alignment Settings” button in the lower-right corner of the “Alignment” section of the “Home” tab.
The “Format Cells” dialog box displays. The “Alignment” tab automatically displays. To rotate the text, click on any point along the semicircle in the “Orientation” box. The number of degrees of the rotation displays in the “Degrees” edit box. If you know the specific number of degrees you want to rotate the text, type the number directly into the “Degrees” edit box, or use the spinner arrow buttons to select a number.

If you want the text to be vertical in a cell (each character takes up one line), click the box to the left of the semicircle angle box in the “Orientation” but (the box with the word “Text” in a vertical format). The button turns black to show that the option is on and your text will look like the first cell in the image below once you click “OK” on the “Format Cells” dialog box.

To reverse the rotation of your text and display it normally, simply go back to the “Alignment” tab on the “Format Cells” dialog box and enter “0” (that’s a zero, not the letter “O”) in the “Degrees” edit box. To reverse vertical text, simply click the vertical text button on the “Alignment” tab so the button is not black.
