Change text direction in cross-platform flowchart

Visio 2010 Standard Edition

Hi all,

How do I change the text direction in a horizontal swimlane shape? The text in the first column is vertically aligned and I would like this to be horizontally displayed.

Also, if I copied a cylindrical timeline from a different to a cross-platform page, it looses all its formatting such as milestones, font, etc.. I tried different options available under 'paste', but I still didn't get the original one. Is there a way I can copy all the items created in a different to a file that has a cross-platform flowchart? 

Thanks,
