Thanks for the replies, but it's not advice on whether I should use vertical text or not that I'm asking for. Maybe I should explain what I'm trying to do. The user will input addresses which will be formated for printing. This printing will be done onto envelopes or postcards. Please don't anybody tell me that in Japan it's also common to print addresses out horizontally, because I already know this. I want to offer the user the option of printing the addresses out vertically.

Oh, well that's easy enough. Just use a for/next loop to loop over your characters, printing each one and moving down till you get to the bottom of your printing area, then move left and to the top again, etc.

Cheers,
