Is there a way to rotate text 90 degrees in a table row or table cell?

Thanks,

      Are you using Arbortext FOSI composition, Arbortext Print Publishing composion or XSL-FO composition?

      PDF output, HTML output?

        Will this solution work for the Editor vs. the Print Composer output?

        Hi Bryon--

        When you update your FOSI, don't insert the whole chunk of code that Peter posted. Instead, there should already be an <eic> for "entry". Find that one, copy the entire <att> element and its content from Peter's code sample, and insert it at the end of the entry EIC (just before the </eic> end tag, after any other <att> elements).

        If it still doesn't work, you might need to play around with the order of <att> conditions in your entry EIC, to prevent some other <att> condition from triggering first before you get to the @rotate check.
