AutoCAD/funky text

Question
Not sure what I did to deserve this, but for some unknown reason, when I try to add or edit text, the text editor automatically renders the text in a vertical format. Can't figure this one out. Thanks... Btw, AutuCAD 2010.

Answer
Hey Shaun,

Have you checked the Style of the text itself?  If it's a .shx (Autocad) type of text, you can make it vertical by checking the box in the text style dialog box.  

Let me know if that doesn't work.  If it does, don't smack yourself in the forehead too hard.  I do that a lot and it starts to hurt after a while.
