How can I rotate the text box in Preview

I've finally figured out how to add text to my pictures, but some of them, I'd like to rotate the text to an angle. Nothing I've tried has worked. I have a Macbook that uses Lion. Please help. Thanks.

I had the same problem but solved it in Preview. You just need to rotate the image in the direction you want the text to be before creating the text box, then you can rotate it back to the original position and the text will stay in the position you created it. Hope this helps in the future.
