Creating Vertical Text

You can print any text within a Text, Counter, or Date and Time object vertically. With vertical text, each character of the first line in the object prints on a separate line, with each character placed on top of the previous one. Each line of text within the object prints as a separate column.

You can use this option to quickly create vertically-oriented text for video spine labels or binders.

To create vertical text

  1. Double-click the object that contains the text you want to make vertical.

    The Properties dialog box for that object appears.

  2. Select the Vertical text check box under Text effects, and then click OK.

    The text now appears vertically within the selected object.
