I tried this and I can get the
i caption
of a text field to rotate 45 degress, but I can't get the value part of the text field to rotate. Can you get the text value to rotate? I see the caption rotate on both the "GUI" and the printed output. (I created my form with Designer 8 but viewed it with both Reader 7 and Acrobat 8.) I also noticed that the XFA spec version 2.2 states that 45 is not a supported value for rotate: the "value must be a positive or negative multiple of 90".
