It's doable but it'll be a nightmare to manage because you're going to need different Section Types using different Head Types depending on the orientation.  Might be easier to change the customer's mind.

I tested the head. However the result is text will display incorrectly in end of section.

Scrap my previous comment. You have to create head with two parameters - one display at top and one at the bottom. Then in the section, create two type of head from the same family. One display the top and one display the bottom.

As a result, you will see section will work with the orientation.

If you ever need to cut a section at an angle you will find the result rather unsatisfactory.

Can you share your file with me? Those look good. I can not get my text to act like that.
