Rotating vertical text

When working with vertical text, you can rotate the direction of characters by 90°. Rotated characters appear upright; unrotated characters appear sideways (perpendicular to the text line).

To rotate characters in vertical text:

1. Select the text using the vertical text tool.
2. Choose Rotate Character from the Character palette menu. A checkmark indicates that the option is selected.

Note: You cannot rotate double-byte characters (full-width characters available only in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean fonts). Any double-byte characters in the selected range will not be rotated.
