How do you change direction of text?

In the most recent version of D-Plot all the text is coming up horizontal when I want the text (or lables) on the y-axis to be vertical. I've searched and can not find a way of changing it. Any help would be great.
Thank you

If you're talking about the numbers along the Y axis, select Options>Number Formats, select "Y axis", then under Orientation select "Vertical".
If instead you're talking about the Y axis title, then you've encountered a bug that should have been fixed in the last several releases. First check the version number and if you are NOT using version 1.9.9.9 or later then get the latest update. If you ARE using the latest version:
1) Look in My Documents\DPlot and delete the file dplot.ini
2) Look in c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\DPlot\Preferences. If there is a default.set file, delete it.
This should fix the problem other than for previously saved DPlot files. For those, after opening the file select Text>Fonts and select an existing font (rather than the named font that most likely doesn't exist on your system) for the Y axis.
