AutoCAD 2000 has a thing called "edit attribute globally".  Have you tried that?

Press -ate.
Press a few times ENTER untill you have to select an attribute.
Select neccesary attributes.
Then you can change te angle off the attributes you have selected.

Go to:

And download Terry Dotson's routine:
INSROT.LSP Which inserts rotated blocks with the attributes maintained horizontal.
