you mean another way besides the "change text direction" option?

Record a macro whilst doing the text direction change, then edit it to see how it was done. The text direction bit looks like this - Selection.Orientation = wdTextOrientationUpward<br />

just a note to clarify, you won't be able to rotate the text boxes just change the direction of the text within them.<br />

I don't think you can do it programmatically. Macros require that they 'know' the object that they're working on. You will need to select all the text boxes and then run the macro, which kind of defeats the object of running a macro.<br />

You could select the first box, perform the rotation operation via the menus, then select the remainder of the boxes and press F4. (This key is the 'repeat previous command key')

Rotate Textboxes in Word

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
