    Hi Rich,

    There is a freeware thirdparty component available for ReportBuilder named
    RotatedText available from our website at
    http://www.digital-metaphors.com/Subpages/Downloads/companionproductsRCL.html.

    Hi!
    It is a fine component, just remember to use a non-printable character
    instead of Space if the text in the rotated label has more than one word.
    Use f.i. #255. Type it in as [Alt]+255.
    If you use Space, the positioning of the rotated text is different from the
    preview on the printout.
    Kind regards
    TorB.

    Ol?,

    I made download the archive bldctls.zip.
    When I try to compile the archives dpk occurs the following error: [
    Error ] BuilderControls.pas(319): Undeclared to identifier: '
    TppDeviceSubstitutions '

    I use Delphi 7.

    Hello,

    Check to be sure ppDevice is in the uses clause of the source. If it isn't
    you will need to add it.
