> Is there anyway to ROTATE a line of text 90 degrees CCW on a report?

This can be accomplished by subclassing the ReportListener class.

GDI+: printing vertical text on VFP reports via generated images (VFP9)

This code sample is based on my own (home-made) GDI+ class. But certainly any other VFP GDI+ class can be used.

Also a quick Google search pointed at Cathy Pountney's article Visual FoxPro 9.0 Report Writer In Action

I'm still thinking there should be a simpler way.
