How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

How can I make the text vertical in numbers? I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

I already gave two tools to fit this kind of needs.
tip #1 :
--{code}
--[SCRIPT write_vertically]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : write_vertically.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Saisir dans une cellule le mot à écrire verticalement puis le sélectionner.
ATTENTION, il ne faut pas sélectionner la cellule mais le mot qui doit apparaitre surligné.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “write_vertically”
Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.
Pour mon usage personnel j'associe un raccourci à ce script grace à FastScripts.

In a cell, type a word to write vertically then select it.
CAUTION, don’t select the cell but the word which must be highlighted.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “write_vertically”
The script insert in the cell the word after inserting a return between every characters.
For my own use, I link a shortcut to the script thank to FastScripts.

When I print a webpage from FF how can I make the text and images bigger?

I am trying to print an eticket for a flight. The text on the schedule comes out too small and the UPC symbol's black lines look ganged together. I know I can view it zoomed up, but how do I make the text and images stay zoomed so they will print out that way?

I upgraded but the problem remains. At least with Firefox I do have the option to print a selection even if it mangles the top and bottom lines. With Safari or Chrome I have no option to print a selection. At the moment the only way to get a complete copy of the selection is to copy to openoffice etc and print from there.

How can I make the text crisper and less blurry on my MacBook Pro?

I just purchased my first MacBook Pro, and I absolutely love it, save for one potential deal breaker: The text displays blurry. Instead of stark, black on white text, there is a slight halo of grey (or whatever color the font is in) around every character. It makes the text look nice, but much harder to read. The characters are deliberately out of focus. Apparently this is normal, according to this article: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2015823073_ptmrsh06.htm l
Is there a way to fix (or work around) this? As a writer, I cannot type for eight hours a day on a computer that "softens" the text. I have tried adjusting my screen resolution (it's at the highest possible) and turning off "font-smoothing" (it's off). Nothing works. I called Apple support and they couldn't help me either. I can't believe there's not an easy fix for this.

Humor me.
Let's revisit the things you did, because they -should- have fixed the problems.
!) to set screen resolution, you MUST use:
System Preferences > Displays ...
Use of the MenuBar item simply shows the last three chosen, not all available.
And what is the screen resolution you are using now? 13" 15" or 17" display? Do you have the default glossy screen or the enhanced matte display?
2) font smoothing.
System Preferences > Appearance.
I see no OFF. I see a checkbox to default to LCD smoothing, and I see "turn off font smoothing for characters smaller than nn point", where nn is 4 to 12.
How do you have these set?

At the end of the code, you can find
document.write('You can add Blinking Text!');
insert a "size" attribute to "font" tag (eg. size="10")
document.write('You can add Blinking Text!');

How can I make the font bigger in Creative Cloud?

Since I saw no other posts come up in the search, I need to know if I can make the Creative Cloud app itself have a bigger font. I finally found where someone had shown how to do it for Photoshop. (This is due to the fact I am on a Toshiba laptop with an Ultra 4K screen, resolution at 3840 x 2160.) Basically I can barely read any of the app names to know what is available to install.
Thanks for the help!!!

How can I make the text larger... I cant read it anymore

I need to have the text enlarged..how do i do that.
I cannot read anything on my pages anymore

There are some add-ons that can be used to change the zoom level on all sites, for example:
* NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint
* Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level

How can I make the text insertion caret/cursor easier to see in InDesign?

I'm using InDesign CS5, and it doesn't comply with Windows 7 Ease of Access settings regarding the text insertion caret/cursor thickness. Is there a fix for this?
P.S. QuarkXPress has the same problem, so whichever software resolves it first wins!

Interesting approach. I see how that could be useful for making things like text box guides easier to see depending on the chosen colors. Unfortunately, it has no affect on the text insertion caret/cursor. It remains the same size and thickness, and it is very difficult to find regardless of how much I zoom in.

How can I make the »Text Box« blend with the background?

I have a problem that my document is almost finished, but still I cannot solve one basic problem. My “Text box” fields are still selectable (I get the blue select/resize buttons around the text) when I click on them when reviewing my document in the reader. In this “Text box” fields there is text that is not meant to be changed by the end user. It should just be shown (blend with the background) and not selectable. This resize buttons around the text box don’t work and don’t allow the end user to change the size but their presence alone drives me crazy.
Should I use the “Stamp” tool in this case or is there a setting (with the text box tool) that I’m missing?

It seems that I found the solution. Is the only way to avoid the before mentioned edit box that I use the TouchUp Text tool to add text?

How can I make the thumbnails bigger -- again?

One of the things I dislike about my MacBook, Mac OS X 10.6.3, is that it often makes things on my screen smaller that I don't want shrunk because I make some gesture on the touchpad. I'm not sure what the offending gesture is, because this just happens to me randomly.
It happened in iPhoto, and now the thumbnails are really small. I can't figure out how to make them big again. I have tried going to View - Thumbnails, but unfortunately the options after that are grayed out; i.e., I cannot choose any of them.
Is there any way to restore the thumbnails to the default size?

You an set all options back top their default by renewing the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
BUT
To increase the size of the iPhoto thumbnails just use the little slider toward the lower right hand corner of the iPhoto window.

How do I make the font bigger

I have just bought a Dell computer with a 27 inch screen. I can increase the size of the print in windows, but that seems to have no effect in Firefox.
All I can find in your "how to" pages is how to use programs, etc. Nothing about DISPLAY.
How can I make the TEXT bigger so that I can see it on this big screen?
Thank you very much
Old lady

Use this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface:
*Theme Font & Size Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/theme-font-size-changer/
*Big Buttons: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/big-buttons/
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
You can increase the String pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1.0 to 2.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
In current Firefox versions this pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
Hope this helps,

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny?

How can I make the playback buttons of YouTube and other plug-ins bigger since they are so tiny in Firefox? I tried some suggestions that dealt with entering "about:config" in a fresh browser, but to no avail. I also downloaded an add-on called "Theme Font & Size Changer", but that didn't work either. So, I am reaching out here as that was a suggestion that another user here offered.

Ah, yes- that is an ultra high DPI (dots per inch) display. This is a known issue in Flash Player, which Adobe is working on fixing.
In the mean time, you can get some videos to have normal-sized controls by switching Youtube to the HTML5 video player:
In Firefox, go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and click the "Request the HTML5 player" button.
