Although Jeroen is correct in his statement in that it is not possible without the use of Rotate 270, if all you want to do is display a static word (like "Category"?) you can do the below method. Unfortunately, for those that want to display an <<Expr>> in this format, this method obviously would not work.

For those of us that do not have this feature, but still want to implement it, what I did was:

  1. Create the text/textbox I wanted to use in Microsoft word and rotate it to the orientation I wanted to use in my report
  2. Take a screenshot, a snip using the Snipping tool, whatever you want to get an image of the text/textbox

  3. Using the toolbox, insert the snip into your report

This visually looks like it did the trick.

@Liquid Core to your comment, I am not sure how you found these options.
