Diagonal text

I can best describe what I'm looking to achieve by referring to the folding they often put outside a theatre, or concert hall.

Let's say the board says: Thursday August 6 at 7.30pm
The WYSIWYG Singers
Pablo Concert Hall
Admission €10 / €5

On the day of the event, all the tickets have virtually been sold. Very often a small flyer is pasted on to the poster, saying 'Sold-Out - just a a few ticket returns possible! This notice is often pasted diagonally rather than horizontally, which makes it more eye-catching, but doesn't hide as much of the original underneath.

Can I achieve this effect, please?

Many thanks

PS Apologies for the use of fictitious names!

Create a normal text object and then right-click > Rotate.

Many thanks for the 'simple' but so effective answer.

I always know it's all in WYSIWYG somewhere, but just need a bit of help from someone far more experienced, in order to be able to find where it is!
:D :)
