I have never seen any TeX document that had rotated text. It sounds like a lost cause to me. Perhaps it would be possible if your TeX supports embedded postscript, but then you probably won't be able to position the text exactly, and you wouldn't be able to preview it very easily. It sounds like you should use a WYSIWYG type DTP program instead if you want rotated text. I think there is something on the Sun that is WYSIWYG but outputs in TeX format... Maybe UofT has it somewhere?
