We have closed the issue WORDSNET-22754 as ‘Not a Bug’. Please use following code example to get the desired output.

Document doc = new Document();

DocumentBuilder builder = new DocumentBuilder(doc);
Shape textBox = builder.insertShape(ShapeType.TEXT_BOX, 200, 50);

textBox.setWrapType(WrapType.NONE);
textBox.setRotation( 345 );

textBox.setHeight( 50.0 );
textBox.setWidth(200.0);

Node test = new Paragraph(doc);
textBox.appendChild( test );
Paragraph para = textBox.getFirstParagraph();
para.getParagraphFormat().setAlignment(ParagraphAlignment.CENTER);

Run run = new Run(doc);
run.setText( "Content in textbox");
para.appendChild(run);
 
OoxmlSaveOptions options = new OoxmlSaveOptions();
options.setCompliance(OoxmlCompliance.ISO_29500_2008_STRICT);
doc.getCompatibilityOptions().optimizeFor(MsWordVersion.WORD_2019);

doc.save(MyDir + "output.docx", options);

Try to set top and left on the shape in your example and then you will see that nothing will change

textBox.setTop(800);
textBox.setLeft(900);

so I can rotate text but I cannot set the position … :stuck_out_tongue:

You are setting the position of Shape outside the page. Please set its position as shown below or set the position within the document’s page. We have attached the output document this post for your kind reference. 21.9.output.docx (8.1 KB)

textBox.setTop(80);
textBox.setLeft(90);
