Is there a way to rotate text? I have set up a table with headings at the top
and want to rotate the text to take up less space. Thanks in advance. . .

Please explain what you mean by "rotate text"

Do you mean text that scrolls within a smaller area so that, for example,
the space allocated may be enough for say 20 characters but a heading of say
40 characters appears character by character?

If so, I think I have seen (and saved) code which does this and can post it.

If not, then what do you mean?
 
I want to create a chart that tracks activity of a number of people. Along
the left side will be a list of activities, across the top will be the names.
At the intersection of the chart I will put an "X" to indicate they
participated in the activity. If the name is printed horizontal it will take
up a lot of space. I would like to have the names print on an angle up to 90
degrees to take up less screen space horizontally. I did try using "text art"
but it is difficult to read.

In a image/graphic application, then save as GIF image. import into your current open FP web / site,
then insert into the appropriate cell in your table, etc.
