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°.

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?

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

Not sure what we're supposed to be focussing on there but the text isn't slanted:

Visual trickery, your sloped road and dark left background to bright right, is making your text appear likes it's about to fall off that hillside...

I was having this problem too and you helped me fix it! Thank you!

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.
