Rotate your page view, not your head in InDesign

It's true, as designers we love software that allows us to lay out page elements however we want, including rotating text. Well, there's even more to love because you don't have to cramp your neck trying to read that rotated text! You can rotate the page preview so you can read, edit, align, and adjust however you want—then rotate it back. To do this, simply select the page in the Pages panel that you wish to rotate. Then click on the Pages panel pop-up menu and select Rotate Spread View and choose one of the options (90º CW, 90º CCW, or 180º). When you are finished editing, with that page in the Pages panel still selected, click on the Pages panel pop-up menu and choose Rotate Spread View > Clear Rotation. Who said designing had to be difficult?!
