Rotating text

How can I rotate text? It's easy to do in PowerPoint.
You just grab the green rotate dot and rotate it. How do
you do it in Word? I can get my autoshape to rotate and
I want to be able to rotate my text along with it. It's
GOT to be something simple, right?

Put the text in a text box, then select Text Direction from the Format menu.
(Note: Word won't do upside down text.)
