Thanks for the reply,
I have used the map rotation option within the composer, but the layer text also rotates, which is what I am trying to avoid. An example of what I am on about would be where you have a Label layer, with your text horizontal (on Map Canvas). When you rotate the map in the composer, the text rotates also, what I was hoping for is the option to set two rotations for the test, one in the Map Canvas for viewing and editing and the other in the Composer for Printing.
Regards,

Richard.

Richard, go to angle in the composer, item properties, click the drop down at field name angle,n choose your preferred angle. Also make sure you lock the map layer so the text or any changes you make in the composer, doesn't affect the map layer n vice versa

Thanks

Subject: [Qgis-user] Lables in Composer

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to auto Rotate text in Composer?
I have a Map, which needs to be rotated to Print out on A4, having North
at an angle, which means all my horizontal text is skewed in composer.
  I have at present added additional fields to allow for Label
Relocation and rotation, which gets me over the issue in the meantime,
It does of course skew the text in the canvas.
It would be nice if there was a way in Composer to select these field
values, this would leave the Text in the Canvas as is, and rotate it in
the composer.
If this is not available yet, maybe it could be added in a future update.
Regards,

Richard McDonnell
