If you are using 2.xx or later you can rotate your workpiece from the toolbar. Click on the "F" and a drop down will appear with 3 options.
You can rotate the piece, but the text will be applied as if it were in the standard view.
You then will have to rotate it by clicking the green ball and dragging it, or putting 90 in the degree box.
