Apologies if this has been posted before, but I could not find it using search.

We are using data driven pages to create a mapbook of a pipeline.  Each cutout is rotated to follow the pipeline.  We are using text in annotation groups to label features along the pipeline.  Some of the text is shared between adjoining sheets that have different rotations.  Is there a way to keep the text horizontal relative to the page when it is exported.  Currently if we rotate the text to be horizontal on one page, it will be slightly rotated in the adjoining page.

Thanks,

Craig,
Thanks for the help, that sounds like it would work for most situations and we'll give it a try. However, it is often not desirable to query out the labels from adjacent pages if the features are still visible on the current page. There really needs to be an "angle relative to the current frame" option for annotation.

Thanks,
Justin


I wholeheartedly agree with Justin!
