            Bug ID: 122039
           Summary: Rotate text in shapes
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw

As reported in bug 116672, text in flipped/rotated shapes are always upside
down. For a general solution we need the ability to rotate text to any degree.
Similar issue regarding forms was reported in bug 115591. 

(In reply to Regina Henschel from comment #8)
> Yes, ODF has the feature to rotate the text. But there are two shortcomings:
> 1. LibreOffice has no UI for this feature.
> 2. Import and Export with MS Office does not work. LibreOffice cannot yet
> read/write the OOXML text rotations needed for 180° rotation and MS Office
> cannot read/write the ODF text rotations.
> 
> MS Office has the trapezoid, with the smaller top edge in its presets, not
> the one with the smaller edge at bottom, which is currently in LibreOffic's
> preset. I don't know why LibreOffice has it, perhaps it was used in MS 97.

> I have not tested Word or Excel. There might be additional problems.
