that appears, you can select an option to rotate the text box by 90 degrees to the left
or right or to flip it horizontally or vertically. - Point to the border of the box (not to a handle), and then drag the box up and to
the right, until it sits at the right edge of the slide. - Right-click the border of the box, and then click Format Shape.
