Just select the text and you should be able to move it. Is the text a block of text?

Well, I mean that I have hundreds of existing pieces of text that I need to rotate about themselves 90 degrees. As far as I know, I can't do that in Microstation 7, but in version 8 they made a command for it...?

after you select ROTATE tool, if you expand the box at the bottom, there is a "about element center" option that you can try and see if it works for you.

I found out that the "about element center" option was not available in version 7, unfortunately.
