Type it into a text box which you have dragged down the side of the page.

Thanks Tilly2. I can place a text box down the side of the page but am stumped how to insert the text. Perhaps I should have said I want the text to be at right angles to rest of the text. One line of text reading upwards - bottom to top.
Can you not turn the text box in any way once you've typed in it?
If you click in the text box the cursor will appear and you can type in there.

You can either type the text downwards (and backwards) or press the enter key to take the cursor to the bottom and type upwards.
You could also use Insert WordArt and then highlight the text that you type in the WordArt box and select the option 'Drawing Tools>Format>Text direction'

You also have a similar option available for selecting text direction if you use insert a Text box.
