Text Box is slanted

New to Illustrator, everything was going fine. Today I opened it and went to work on something and when I clicked on the type tool to make a line type, it was slanted so as you typed it would go up and to the right.

So when you'd make a text box, it looks like it's angled to the left about 15-20 degrees. I have tried everything to figure out what happened and how to fix it but I can't. I didn't change any settings.

Type on a path still works normall, it's Text in a line or box that is totally slanted now on an angle. How can I reset this to normal orientation?

Thank You

Go to Preferences > General and make sure that the Constrain Angle is set to 0°.

Good point, Met1.

And the two-line type blocks in the middle and right column certainly increases the tilt illusion.

Probably it is also a matter of different perceptions. Some may see the fall and some may not see it at all.

I am having the same problem and my contraint angle is set to 0, so is my scale and my bounding box.

I'm not sure about that issue and probably I misunderstand it, but have you already checked the Constrain Angle setting in the Illustrator preferences?
