In a diagram, I have a triangle shape containing text. It points up to some box higher up in the diagram.

Now I'd like to have a similar triangle that points down to some other box. Unfortunately, there isn't any downward-pointing triangle shape available in Insert > Shapes. And if I try rotating the upward-pointing triangle, the text rotates along with it and ends up being upside down.

How do I get a triangle like the one on the right, but with the text right side up?

I'm looking to avoid having to make a triangle shape with no text, and a separate text box with text in it, and then overlay them.

In Word, I do the following steps:

1. draw a square or rectangular text box
2. change the shape to a downward triangle (see addl. picture)

3. add the text and insert color if required.
