Hi Dan,
You can rotate WordArt in Word 2003 to any degree you want.  The only 
thing I find that might interfere has to do with the text wrapping 
around it.  When you put WordArt in line with text, the handles for 
turning it don't show up.  Go into the Format WordArt dialog box and 
change the text wrapping to something else, like in front of text, for 
instance, then click the WordArt object, grab the green dot above it and 
drag until you rotate it 180 degrees.  It works.
