VFP 9 SP2 allows you to put a field on the report and then tell it to rotate. It works with text fields that have multiple lines and wrap so it should work for your situation. You just have to play a little bit because when you look at it in design mode, it isn't rotated but when you preview or print it is rotated.

>Our reports that print on full page labels have some of the labels (fairly large areas) print out the information in them with the text rotated 90 degress. To do this, we have to use PCL 5 language of the printers (which is yucky). To top it off, we have to parse the data going into the rotated labels, since they are memo fields, which causes all kinds of formatting problems to overcome.
