To Set the Obliquing Angle in a Text Style

The obliquing angle determines the forward or backward slant of the text. The angle represents the offset from 90 degrees.

Entering a value between -85 and 85 makes the text oblique. A positive obliquing angle slants text to the right. A negative obliquing angle slants text to the left.

  1. Click FormatText Style.
  2. In the Text Style dialog box, enter an angle between -85 and 85 in the Angle.

    A positive value slants text to the right. A negative value slants text to the left.
