Vertical text direction

Hi guys, is there a way of using html or css to position text
vertically? thanks

And after seeing it on the MS site I can't imagine why you
would want to. Of
course if you could turn text sideways AND make it blink...
well that would
be way cool.

  • Vertical text direction / orientation in tables. (RoboHelp 7 and/or 8)

    Hello all,
    I need to squeeze a fairly full table (lots of columns) into a printable page width.
    In order to do this, I need to put text into some of the cells so that they read vertically. I can do this in MS Word tables (menu > Format > Text Direction) and need an equivalent in RH. Preferably RH7, (but can import into RH8 if I must ).
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hi Philip
    My guess is that you can probably fudge it using CSS. But it won't be something RoboHelp will assist with in any way.
    Check the link below for one hit I found. Use Google searching for vertical text in HTML to find others.

  • Vertical text in Excel output

    Hello,
    I am designing a report with Excel output using BI Publisher. The problem i am facing is that the text direction (vertical) in the RTF file does not remain the same in the Excel output. Do you have any solutions/workarounds for this problem?
    Thank you.

    Hi Radu,
    I'm afraid, I'm not able to do it, somehow although excel has the option to rotate text by any angle, it does not seem to accept the text direction that RTF does..

  • How to make Vertical Text start furom left to right?

    Sometimes some customers must be vertical text from left to right
    This is mainly for Asian fonts
    Whether it can be achieved with script,Or are there other methods？
    Thank you~

    @喜狼_edny – hm. Possible, but the result is somehow unsatisfactory.
    See for yourself.
    We could start with some text right aligned in a table with just one single cell:
    We could rotate the cell to 270° like that:
    Code:
    var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
    myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
    And now we need the text direction from right to left and all characters rotated to 180°:
    Code:
    var myCell = app.selection[0].tables[0].cells[0];
    myCell.rotationAngle = 270;
    myProperties = {
        composer : "$ID/HL Composer Optyca",
        characterDirection : CharacterDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
        paragraphDirection : ParagraphDirectionOptions.RIGHT_TO_LEFT_DIRECTION,
        characterRotation : 180
    myCell.texts[0].properties = myProperties;
    Result:
    Ugh! Not exactly the result we expected…
    (Tested with InDesign CS5.5 on OSX 10.6.8)
    It's the characterRotation that is not working as expected.

  • How to reduce the level of free text / direct purchasing

    A common problem at all sites is how to reduce the level of free text / direct / non catalogue based purchasing. This is where users enter an account assignment and free text instead of using an existing material number.
    This is often the case because it is too "dificult" for the user to search and find the correct material number.
    How have other sites handled this?
    has anyone found a solution that if a user enters lets say "paper" into the free text box, a pop up appears with a match on possible materials with the word "paper" in the short description? This sounds like a pretty easy function to implement? Does anyone have the code?

    Yes this works, but you have to tell that the user has to enter the text  in the material number field, then SAP will search thru the database.

  • Right to Left glitch in illustrator CS6, CC2014 and NO Text direction button.

    On a MAC OSX machine and in my laptop (Windows 8 (64 bit) I am having issues with Illustrator CS6. The  Text direction button that is supposed to be in the Paragraphs palette is missing. Is there something special I have to download in order to get it or something?
    Thanks.

    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.

  • Problem with vertical text in crystal report viewer

    Hi,
    I am displaying vertical text in crystal report designer and deploying the report in crystal reports server 2008. The deployed report is being displayed using JAVA in crystal report viewer control.
    Problem: Vertical text header  is getting collapsed wth other vertical headers.
    Please help on this.
    Thanks,

    Hi Vijay,
    I found out another method of retaining all the chart formatting that is done in the preview pane.
    Once you have done all the changes then you will find interestingly there is a chart menu option that appears in the tool bar. Once you click on it there is an option "Apply Changes to All Charts".
    Select that option, close your preview. Open it once again and you will find that all the settings are still there and the Web Viewer is able to display them properly.
    I think that I resolved this.

  • Why can't i write text directly in a Pages document without using a text box ?

    Hello buddies,
    Once upon a time, when I was running Leopard on my MB black, I was able to open a Pages document and type text directly without creating a textbox. That was a great way to take notes during a meeting or to past a long document in, without thinking how many pages it will takes.
    Apparently, this is no more possible ...
    Is any of you can tell me why ?
    And then how can I do to have this possibility back ?
    Thanks forward,
    Best regards,
    Stéphane

    Because you have opened a Layout template.
    Go back to the Template Chooser and pick a Word Processing template, they are listed in the sidebar.

  • Vertical Text in PDF using CFDOCUMENT

    I am using font tag in a CSS file to layout a table header
    using vertical text. In HTML, the vertical text looks fine.
    However, when I convert the table to a pdf using
    <cfdocument>, the vertical text is displayed as horizintal
    text and does not follow the css specified font family, color or
    size.
    Here is the line in the CCS I am referencing:
    .header_vertical {FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 8pt;
    FONT-STYLE: normal; writing-mode:tb-rl; FONT-FAMILY: helvetica,
    arial, verdana, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none; COLOR: #0f437c}
    This is CFMX7 on a Windows Server 2003 OS running IIS.
    Any ideas???
    Thanks.

    Hi there, did you find a solution to this?
    I had the same issue and no matter what i tried it didn't
    work. I found out that CFDOCUMENT doesn't support CSS2.
    Eventually I came up with a clunky solution, but had no other
    choice. I bought some imaging software called Alagad (
    http://www.alagad.com) which
    produces the vertical text as images on the fly. Its not ideal, but
    there was no ther way I could disply the text.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Weird problem with vertical text in a table

    Hello,
    I am new on this forum, usually I don't post because I always find the answer to my question, but this is something quite weird...
    I have a table with vertical text in it (it has to be vertical because the cells are narrow). And I want it to be centered in the cell, both vertically and horizontally. When the cell is high enough, no problem. But as it becomes shorter, the text moves to the left. It is exactly as if there was a right margin within the cell, which is not the case.
    See the example below : I had the text right-aligned (this is to say, bottom-aligned, as it is 270° rotated) to make it more visible.
    Can someone help me there ? I already spent hours on that problem..!
    Thank you very much !

    Only, my table contents both vertical and horizontal text, so I can't. But thanks for the suggestion.
    Thank you kindly for all your answers. Anyway, re-writing the text in separate frames won't be so difficult (anyway it'll always take less time than what that problem already did..).
    So I have a solution, thanks to Phorna
    But remains the frustration of not finding the reason of this ! I will live along with it
    Thanks to all

  • Creating Vertical text in horizontal position ... ??

    Hi
    I am tring to print text onto address labels in a vertical orientaion (for final use). I have a large CD collection and I am trying to print headings for plastic cards that have a small tab that sticks out. I found small address labels to be the perfect size to stick on. However, I will be appling the labels vertically.
    Pages allows you to take horizontal text and rotate it, BUT the letters are NOT stacked on top of each other, you just end up with diagnol or sideways rotated text.
    WordArt in MS Word allows you to orient the text the way I want, but I was hoping for an easier solution in Pages - as the resizing in wordart is cumbersome and fixed to varies intervalls, you cannot enter specific number sizes.
    I hope I was decribing this clearly.
    Thanks AL

    You can achieve the effect you want by creating a text box (it should be set for Moves With Text and Wrap should be off). Type your text with a return after each letter and then narrow the box to fit the vertical text. Next, in the Text Inspector center the text. Go to the Metrics inspector and type "90" in the Angle box at the bottom.
    You should be able to copy and paste this to your template.
