I'm doing the spine of a book, so obviously I want the text to be 90 degrees clockwise to the textframe. I figure there is a setting somewhere that will do this, but I thought as an easy work around (and also to better see what I'm doing) I could rotate the frame counterclockwise, do the stuff I need to do & then rotate it back, but of course, the text cursor was still in what had been the top left position. I'm sure there is an easier way to do what I want than using the text path tool.

Help?
