How to wrap text at a 45 degree angle in word 2002

Factual Questions
1

I’m trying to wrap text in MS 2002 at a 45 degree angle. When you print it (the words look fine on the screen) the characters become fattened and squeezed together so that they overlap. How can I do this?

Thanks.

Well, I’m in Word 2000, but it should be similar, so have you tried: select the problem passage, go to Format, pick Font, and click the Character Spacing tab. Change the spacing from Normal to Expanded, then bump it up a few point sizes to space the characters out. Tinker with it until it comes out looking right.
