It appears to be an issue with the 'Save/Export' routine.
I have WinXP & MS Office 2002 on a virtual machine. I copied the saved
.doc file to that machine and in MS Word it opens at 90 instead of 180.
Searching bugzilla finds a lot of text box issues, but not this one. If
I get some time later today I'll file a bug report.
