How do you rotate 4.6 UI Elements?

I am trying to rotate a text element to make it vertical. After watching this video I cannot rotate the rect the same way he did:

Is there another way to rotate the rect?

Thanks.

When you have a GUI object selected hit “T” to enter the “rect transform” mode. Then you can hover you mouse hear the corner controls points (where the mouse cursor will change to a rotate cursor) and then rotate.

You can also rotate GUI objects like any other object. Select the object in question and hit “E” to enter rotation mode.

Just wanted to update this with the solution: I had blueprint mode enabled, which prevented the rotation. Thanks for the help!
