You can rotate the texture 90 degrees if you do it right. Let's say you have a square or rectangular surface used as a door or wall. The texture can be aligned to any edge of that surface. Whichever edge assign, the top of the texture is aligned to that edge.
So if the texture is aligned to the top edge of the surface, and you want to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, enter edge mode and select the right edge of the surface. Note the edge # shown in the edit window. Then click "Tools" then "Tool Window". In the window that appears, type the edge # in the top box. Boxes U and V are used to offset the texture verticly(sp) and horizontally. Set U and V to zero unless you want an offset. Then click "snap".
Also if you stretch or alter a surface too much, you'll get some wacky effects. To get rid of this, you'll need to resnap the texture to an edge.
Hope this helps. (Thanks Pax!)
