How to duplicate vertical textboxes

[laffin_boy]

(I'm using TM 24 with the Classic interface)

I have successfully created a single textbox in my document with vertical text but I need a whole row of these boxes across the bottom of my doc. But when I copy the box itself (not the contents) it pastes itself (a) out of vertical alignment with the original box and (b) the text contents of the pasted box are horizontal.

What's the secret?
