You can place the word into a text box, rotate the box 90 degrees left or right, then place the box as a floating object over the correct column. If you actually want to have the text look like the column on the left, that can be accomplished fairly directly. In Word for PC: Select the text box, select Layout > Rotate, and select More Rotation Options.From the Size tab, change the rotation angle to the angle you need.; In Word for Mac: Click the text box, click Shape Format > Arrange > Rotate > Rotate, and click More Rotation Options.From the Size tab, change the rotation angle so the text points in the direction you need.
My question is not about how to rotate text with Java2D; I know how to do that. What I don't know is how to make the rotated text 'look good.' For example, if you create a text box in PowerPoint and rotate it, the text appears sharp and clear no matter the rotation angle. However, text drawn with g2D.drawString() looks okay at 0 or 90 degrees but not so good at other angles. Is there a way to manipulate the text to clean or sharpen it up? If so, then if someone could point me to where look to learn how to do this I would be so thankful.
Below is a little program that illustrates what I'm talking about. The bigger font isn't too bad when rotated but still doesn't look very professional. The smaller font when rotated is terrible.

I once had a similar problem, and solved it by drawing the text with high precision to an image, then drawing the rotated image.

This will only work on Graphics2D. If you're using normal Graphics you can cast your Graphics object to the 2D version like so:
