Hopefully this will help someone else with their work. You will also notice that the Formatting Toolbar’s orientation will also shift… right-clicking on the selected text / choosing “Table Properties…” / “Text Flow” tab / “Text orientation” : Vertical Change the LibreOffice Writer settings to print all color text as black.

Tried various basic fonts to see if this might be a font thing-Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, etc. Some keystrokes and menu items are different on a Mac from those used in.

This results in the rotation of the text, but it still is not horizontally separated it gets combined back into one line, but rotated. What I have accomplished so far: inserting text into the label area / right-clicking on the selected text / choosing “Character…” / selecting “Position” tab / selecting “Rotation / Scaling” to be “90 degrees”. I want to be able to create a label that has text but the text is horizontal and rotated 90 degrees. I will try to be as specific and efficient in my description. But now I need to create labels in a way that I cannot figure out how to do. I have been using these for some time and have been happily cranking away making my own labels. Quick precursor: a fellow coworker within my company has created a ODT template in LO that allows the insertion of text-or whatever-to create our own labels.
