How simple cant it be? Frustrations ongoing.

Opening a sketch, I type a word, e.g. FRONT.

As per manual, after placing text I highlight the text 'FRONT' to rotate it, default is 30°.

now each letter rotates, not what I want, I want to rotate the complete word.

Now I got several text indications that need to be readeable from the outside of a cylindrical plate at 60°.

So I need the copy around a center point. The text is U1, U2, U3 up to U6.

Each text need to be at a 60° rotated angle.

I created these texts in one sketch, then edit the text to rotate, same problem, the U and the number rotate individual.

I tried finding help in manuals, Internet, it seems simply impossible to do this task within a minute or less.

Why can't I simply rotate a text in SolidWorks without having to read manuals and do internet searches, still finding no answers.

Anybody, please?
