Origin X, Y
Specify the coordinates, or location, of a text box along the X and Y axes.
Angle
Specifies the angle of the text box. For example, if you enter 90, then the text box is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
Text Orientation
Sets the orientation of the text in an annotation.
Horizontal
Specifies that the text is oriented horizontally in the document.
Vertical
Specifies that the text is oriented vertically in the document.
Vertically oriented text is displayed so that it can be read from top to bottom. Each character in the text box is displayed on a line by itself.
When you use vertically oriented text, you should adjust the Text Control setting to ensure that the text is displayed vertically, as intended, and does not wrap or scale.

Text Control
You can select one of the following options to specify how text size is managed within the text box border.
Fit width to content
Automatically sizes the width of the text box to its contents.
Note:
When you select the Text command and then click and type, the text box is defined as Fit width to content by default.
Fixed Width, Height
Specifies the exact width and height of the text box. Text size is adjusted automatically to maintain the fixed width and height using one of the options below.
Note:
When you select the Text command and then click and drag to draw the box, it is defined as Fixed Width and Height by default.
Automatically adjust aspect ratio
When one or more characters exceed the specified width, adjusts the width of all of the characters in the text, without changing their height.
Calculated aspect ratio
Shows the actual aspect ratio used to maintain the width. It is displayed for reference only.
Wrap text
Automatically word-wraps the text that extends beyond the specified line width. A new line is started each time the characters in a word exceed the width of the text box.
