nah. Too easy.
Make sure the appropriate toolbars are turned on. Make sure you have text/objects selected. Otherwise, certain boxes might be grayed out, until text/objects are selected. Sounds like maybe the options of the program got changed somehow.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Have you tried Googling your problem to see if any forums address this?
Did you 'highlight' the item before trying to manipulate it?
Go to word art and use the help. It is fairly simple.
Are you trying to use the Rotate options on the Draw menu (on the Drawing toolbar at the bottom of the screen)?
Instead, try this:
1. Click the drawing object or table cell that contains the text you want to change.
2. On the Format menu, click Text Direction.
3. Click the orientation you want.
