I'm using Revit 2008. I'm new to Revit. In the project that I'm modeling, I have a need for an angle to be used as a hanger or a column. I've tried adjusted the element properties of the angle to allow it to be used horizontally, then have reloaded into the project. Now, I'm trying to develop a new family for the angle, but have run into a brick wall. Any suggestions?

Take the profile and use it to make a new column family. You should be able to use the steel angle from the structural elements as a hanger.

Also copy the txt file associated to angle and name it the same as the new column family you made and you have all the sizes too  -I had to make WT columns for a project and did it the same way-it works-I think I uploaded the WT col. family here-I left the extra parameter in for the other flange (and in the text file)-because I was lazy -no need to over exert myself-hahahaha.

Another option: Edit the Angle Family Go to Settings -> Family Category and Parameters -> [Uncheck the 'Always Vertical' option] Re-load into project OR Save As new family and copy/modify text file. In project, you can now rotate (after clicking disjoin on the editing bar) the beam 90° You can also stretch the vertical member up and down, as opposed to defining it's lenght by reference levels.
