Verbatim Text inside a Section

Stefan, thank you for support. The solution works pretty well, but rather for small, one-line sections.
Do you have any idea how to put the longer text inside the table, for the text to not be interpreted (the characters like /, _, @, # etc. often happen there) but also to be somehow 'controlled ...

Re: Rotate and put text

Works like a charm, thanks! :)
Btw - your assumption was correct: I want to position text, but I'd prefer to avoid using absolute coordinates and take some more flexible approach - i.e. at 70% of page width (my picture is to fullfill whole page). What would you recommend for this?

Rotate and put text

Hello,

I would like to rotate the title over 45 degrees, and put it in some position on the cover page. The fragment of code I use is:

\begin{turn}{-45}
\put(200pt,100pt){My report}
\end{turn}
