HOW TO ROTATE TEXT IN MS PAINT
Rotating text is something we take for granted as super simple in other editing programs. As you would normally add text as a layer you can then customize it to your heart’s content. With MS Paint, you don’t use layers so you have to work a little harder.

Rotation only works for the image as a whole so when placing text you will want to rotate you need to place it over an area you can rotate without it spoiling the image. You cannot select the text in isolation and rotate it.

Add your text to the image.
Select the Home tab at the top.
Select the Select tool in the Ribbon and draw a box around the text.
Select Rotate and choose your setting.

You cannot manually increment the rotation, you have the option for Right 90, Left 90, Rotate 180, Flip vertical and Flip horizontal. Those are your only options. Once rotated, you can still manipulate the text while it is still selected. Once you click outside the selection you set the text. Undo is your friend as always but it doesn’t make life easy.\n\n\n\n\n
