Changing Text Direction

How can I change the direction of the text in some of the columns? This option is not available when I select the cells go to Inspector and try to use the rotate dial or flip option.

Changing text direction for Hebrew lines within a document.

We are new to Creative Cloud. We need to be able to chnage text direction within an In Design document. We looked up how to do it, and while the directions were clear (clicking on change character direction from the character options menu), our character options menu does not include changing text direction as one of the options. We just joined the creative cloud a few weeks ago and have the most updated version; what do we need to do?

Do you have the CC Desktop Appliction installed (It's sort of a command central for CC)? If not, get it at https://creative.adobe.com/
The icon should be near the top right corner.

In Pages: How to change text direction in cell?

in Pages, I'd like to change the direction of the text in a table I'm creating.
In the first column (one long column -- I've merged the cells) the work is reading left to right. How do I make it read up and down?
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I found:
Insert a text box from the INSERT menu.... it's also available at the FORMAT menu, but I chose Insert.
Don't drag yet!
place cursor and type your text.
Then, click on the METRICS menu in the Inspector pane
Rotate. Getting exactly to 90 degrees was difficult. Maybe because I called it 90% at first!
Now you can drag.
It might look better to spread out the letter spacing in the text you have entered. Do that from the "text" tab in the Inspector pane.
if you double click, or even click too much, the text box will jump back into a horizontal position -- Dont' worry, it's trying to let you edit.
just go back to "Metric" and change it back to 90 degrees.
Thanks Barry for answering this 3 years ago, and getting me started!

Can't change text direction in a table

Hi all
I was making a table in pages but were not able to alter text direction within a cell, any help

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
As Yvan says, rotation of text in a table cell is not a supported feature in Pages. You can achieve the same visual effect, though, using a Text box to hold the text.
Insert a Text box.
Enter and format the text.
Use the Wrap inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
Use the Metrics inspector to Rotate the box and contents 90°.
Drag the box into position in front of the (empty) cell.
Optional, but encouraged:
Choose "Provide Pages Feedback" from the Pages menu.
Send feedback to Apple requesting this feature be added.
Wait for Pages '10 and check for the feature there.
Regards,
Barry

Change text direction in Pages, Chinese style, characters run down the page.

How so I make it so text in text boxes runs in the traditional chinese style. Characters in text boxes should run down the page instead of across the page.

The only Apple app which can do this is TextEdit. Format > Make Layout Vertical
Other non-Apple apps where it may be possible are MS Word, OpenOffice, iText Pro

Hi! How can I change the header text direction to vertical?

I have many columns with big names, but I need small space for body cells, and I want to check all the table at a view ... So I want to change the direction of the header texts to "left vertical" or "right vertical".

Here's what you should do:
suppose your string is "abc" and you want to display that reversed:
1. reverse the string
2. find where your start point is (where you're going to draw 'a'
3. Use FontMetrics to calculate the offset from the start point you need to make to print the string where it should be

How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

Any help greatly appreciated.

Right to Left glitch in Photoshop CS6, and NO Text direction button.

On a windows 7 machine I am having issues with Photoshop CS6 13.0.1 x64 Extended writing in the wrong direction, its goinf RTL instead of LTR. And the Text direction button that is suppsed to be in the Paragraphs palette is missing. I deleted preferences twice and that didnt change anything. I switched back and forth between Midles Eastern and East Asian, and that did nothing as well. I look at my laptop MBP (MAC OS X 10.6), which has PS CS6 Extended 13.0.5 x64, and I dont have the problem with it being locked in RTL, however, my laptop doesnt have the text direction button either, and doing the previous methods did not give me that option. Is there something special I have to download in order to get it or something?
Here is what the button looks like:
Here is what I have:
Just so you know I hav read this thread, and tried all of the Methods and NONE of them worked for EITHER Operating System.
Also here is a Video for Windows 7 and a video for MAC OS X and the do opposite methods switching to either to East Asian or Middle East(both videos do the oppposite).

I am now thinking it might be a license thing, but I would like someone from Adobe to confirm this (and possible explain why this is). I am a student, and I use the student license, furthermore the Windows 7 PC I was using was a school computer which is using an educational liscense(all of the computers at school which use and Educational Volumne License are missing this Text Direction button). However another student has the full version and has the Text direction, and when he makes files and brings them school, sometimes his files gives an error when he opens it and it says this photohosp file was made with a different text engine, and then procedes to get stuck in RTL. He has Windows 8 PC and the full version of PS CS6, that is the only reason I think of that is different.

Right-to-left text direction missing in Indesign CC 9.2

I'm trying to localize an English file to Arabic. According to some of Adobe help files there should be text direction in the Paragraph menu but I don't see them. The "Reverse Layout" option that is available in InDesign CS5 ME is not available in InDesign CC. How can I reverse the layout in InDesign CC and how can add the text direction buttons. I'm sure they are not there so do I need to download something additional.
Please help!

You need to download and install the English-Hebrew or English-Arabic version. In the CC Desktop App you can click the gear icon and change the language to access them.

Change the direction of a behavior

Does anyone know how to change the direction of a behavior, for example, the glowor other text effect, it seems to start at the end of a word. Can this be changed to start on the first letter of a word, then move to the last letter?

The Direction parameter reverses the direction the effect plays, but not in the way it seems. When you switch from left to right or right to left, the effect goes in reverse. In other words, Say you apply a "Breaking News" behavior to a line of text. It defaults to revealing the text from left to right. If you change the direction to Right to Left, it changes direction and removes the text instead of reveals. Anyone know a way around this? What if I want ot reveal from right ot left?
Thanks
-Jason
