Hi, Harold, There are various ways to do it. Some people may suggest turning a text box sideways and then copying and pasting a number of times. I have a way that makes it come out straighter and more even.
Create a 1-row table with 6-10 columns across the bottom of your document, and check Print Preview to be sure that it is within the printable area. The number of columns you create will determine the number of those tear off sections. Right click each cell that you have created, and click Text Direction, Orientation. Choose the direction that you would like the text to face. For some reason, you can't change the orientation of the entire row at once. Now the cute part. Not only will you be able to type sideways, but many of the icons in your top two rows of toolbars will also turn sideways. Challenge: Try to look at those familiar Word icons without smiling.
