How do you use in an Aperture photobook text; the function "layout orientation" vertical?

I have made many phonebooks in Aperture but I can't figure out how to use the function "Layout orientation" for text. It appears that you should be able to make the text appear vertically; instead of horizontally but how?

Usually I select the text; use "edit layout", select the text, and then choose "layout orientation" = vertical. It goes vertical but as soon as the cursor leaves the text box it jumps back to horizontal.
