That's kind of you to say; thanks.
'Tis the Season, so here's a short story -
Someone (anonymous) recently contacted me about getting that app to work with 2016 (I had only coded it for a newer version for you), and so I did - literally took longer to write them the email than it did to get it to work with older versions - and they were so appreciative that they insisted on compensating me for it.
But I don't need anything; life is good (finally!), I've got a great job that pays me well, we've got our first baby on the way (a boy!) and it's the holidays. I've got a lot to be thankful for, so I explained that I offered them what I was willing to give and didn't need any compensation. That if they really wanted to do something, to consider making a charitable donation and I'd gladly give them one or all of my apps for free depending on the donation, then I gave a suggestion of where I might do same, but made clear they need not do anything and that's perfectly fine too.
So, a few days later I get an email from them that includes the confirmation of their making a LARGE donation to the charity of their choice and their incredible generosity floored me... The thought that I spent so little time/effort and it resulted in such a kindness really gets me in feels, even now.
Kind of makes me want to do something like that every year (publicly), like an actual event or something, I dunno, not really my specialty... I've got a lot of good around me right now (hard to top) and for someone to make me feel even better about my life choices was kind of amazing.
Cheers

Hey Tim,
Maybe I'm not understanding the problem so apologies, but can't you just change the Mtext to Annotative (if its not already) and tick YES for the option to MATCH ORIENTATION TO LAYOUT in the properties?
It keeps the text horizontal in all layouts regardless of different orientations.

Why not simply activate the 'annotative' property of the multiline text? Then you can choose the 'Match orientation to layout' option which appears.
