Is there a way to print text in two orientations on the same page?

I know I can change the page orientation with PrintPageOrientation(), but that changes the entire page. I just want to change some selected text without affecting the rest of the page.

Hi Bob,

I already experimented with what I think is essentially the same thing. I used PrintPageOrientation() a few times to change orientation back and forth, using PrintString() in between. But whatever page orientation mode is called last, is the one that controls the whole page.

Do you know if Spencer actually got text to print in two directions on the same envelope?

Even if this approach would work, I'm afraid the text in Landscape mode is in the opposite direction than I was looking for anyway.   Probably what I really need is a new function that could be called just before PrintString() to control the orientation of the text. But it's not that important that I be able to do this.

Thanks for your help, but don't waste any more effort on this. It's not worth the trouble.

The reason I wanted to do this in the first place, was so I could be cheap and print on the deposit slips that I already have. But they do make deposit slips that are laid out with all horizontal boxes specifically for use in printers. (The ones I currently have are the manual type, and are laid out with the boxes in two orientations.)

I just thought that maybe there was something in SBasic that I was overlooking that could do this. But again, I don't really need to do this. Though, it might be a neat feature for Version 2. I'm sure someone may find a need for such a feature.
