Some words of warning when using escapement: Rotated fields are extremely difficult to place properly. The internal code that "rotates" the text forces you to do some interesting positioning to get it in the right place. It appears that the text is created & wrapped according to the non-rotated layout of it's field object, then rotated using an arbitrary origin point (looks like lower left corner when text is left justified - haven't figured out where origin point of rotation is for center/right/force justified yet).

 

Also, don't expect to be able to use a border around your text. The border appears to stay where you designed it while the text changes position.

 

Rotating text can be used, just be aware that getting the text to appear in exactly the right spot may take a bit more time than anticipated.
