I can't do it with a dimstyle or text style but text rotation = 90 in properties manager almost does it.
You can change many at once or change one instance and use matchprop to change the others.
As Jaberwok says you can rotate the text in properties manager.
If you then stretch the text you can get what you want. To stretch
just the text you must pick just the text with the crossing window.
Multiple text can be selected for the one stretch command.
Note: make shore that the fit is set to 'move text, no leader'.
A bit of work, I know, but that is the only way I can see.
Hope this is of help.

In Dimension style, choose Horizontal in the Text Alignment option.
The trick is this, before you make dimension, rotate UCS by 90 degrees so that the "horizontal" becomes "vertical". Do the same for other orientation.
But the only 'problem' is you have to move text above the dimension line manually, because rotated text is always place in the middle of the line 'breaking' it. So, a lot of manual work and no simple setting or system solution to the OP's issue, maybe some lisp...
This works great, Thanks
