I have a request to make the directional letters in my North arrows stay "up," and to not rotate along with the arrow itself. My understanding is they are static images rather than dynamic elements, but having also seen a post somewhere looking to change the "W" to an "O" for the French language, perhaps there is additional functionality that could come with making them more dynamic.

Example of current behavior, two North arrows with my map rotated in Layout in Pro:

Of course I can manually fake it by covering the original letter up, but having found similar posts asking this I am going ahead to submit an idea. Thanks!

Similarly I was looking for a way to keep the frame on the North arrow square to the page.

The one on the left has a manually drawn box underneath, the right is just a frame outline applied to the North arrow itself.
