Is it possible to slant text in LO Writer or Impress?

I would like to have text sitting on top of an arrow, moving upwards from left to right at a 45 degree angle. I would prefer to do this all in a table in LO Writer, but I could only see how to do it in Impress–but only the arrow. I’d like both the arrow and the text, to slant upwards at 45 degrees. Is this possible in Writer? And if not, in Impress?

You can do it as simple text of a line or you can use tool Fontwork for more effects.TextOnArrow.odt

Thanks. I ended up copying and pasting some arrows from your diagram, and then over-writing the text that you provided. I was never able to figure out in LO, how to make that stuff on my own (didn’t try it with Fontwork).

Seems to be possible, at least if I understand you correctly. Draw an arrow and a text box above it to hold the text. enter the text, format according to need (font size, etc, nothing more), then select both, then right-click, select Group - Group. Right-click the group, select Position and size, then Rotation tab, set rotation to 45 degrees. See sample file.

If you meant something very different, please explain.

If this answer helped you, please accept it with :heavy_check_mark: (here on the left). That will help other people with the same question.

What program are you using? I can insert an arrow in LO Writer, but I can’t seem to select it. I can see the Group option in the context menu, but hovering over Group shows a menu that says “No selection possible.”

Writer, of course. In LibO 5.3.0.
