I have a 4P also, but I usually output via a Pacpage cartridge.
However, I have printed many cassette J-cards on the basic printer, in which 
part of the text is rotated. I did it by creating separate text boxes for 
each of the segments; then rotating each to get the desired orientation. A 
little tricky to get everything positioned correctly; but once you have done 
it, it is easy to modify the contents of any particular segment.
