How to create Vertical Text

by Ivan Walsh on October 10, 2008

You can change the orientation of text from horizontal to vertical in a few quick clicks.

To do this, the text must be inside a text box, shape, callout, or table. You can’t change the orientation if it’s on a regular paragraph.

To change the direction of the text, for example, inside a table:

1. Select the text you want to change.
2. On the Format menu, click Text Direction.
3. Select the orientation you want.

If you want to change this back to the previous settings, press Ctrl+Z to undo your last action.
