[users] vertical text comes out wrong when exported to PDF
So I am able to type vertical text for Chinese and English. It shows up correctly when viewing the .odg file, but when I export it to PDF, the text comes out as if it were horizontal and then rotated. Is this just a bug in open office? Can I export the file into some other extension?

Can anyone tell me how to reset the vertical text alignment from the default top of the page to either the center or bottom of the page? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You cannot do this with plain text, but you can do it with a frame into which you can enter text. Use Insert | Frame ... to create a frame. On the Type tab of the Frame window, for Position | Vertical, select Center or Bottom in the left window and whatever is suitable - either Entire page or Page text area - in the right window. Enter your text into the frame. The frame need not have a border, of course, so it can be completely invisible in the final document. I trust this helps.

Hello Bob, Not sure that I understand your question well. In order to put text in the middle or at the bottom of the page, I'd use a frame (Insert Frame), then choose under Type: Position Vertical.

Re: [users] Vertical Text
I'm not sure what you mean by vertical, but in Writer you can go to Format Page Page and change orientation to landscape. You can also go to Format Columns to set up columns if this is what you want. In Calc, you can go to Format Cells Alignment to rotate text.

This is just slightly ambiguous: I'm guessing that you don't want the entire line of text to be rotated, so that when you turn your head sideways, it reads normally. That's useful and can be done easily, if that is what you want. But I think you mean that you want a column of text, with each character remaining upright in its usual orientation, but with the line of text reading down instead of across. Is that so? Here's how to do it. o Create a frame using Insert | Frame... . o Press Escape to deselect the frame itself, and then put the cursor into the frame. o Type your column of text, separating each character by a paragraph or line break (Enter or Shift+Enter). o Centre the text horizontally (in the normal way). o Select the frame - so that you see the eight green squares - and resize and move it to suit your needs. o By default, the frame will have a border. If necessary, whilst the frame is selected, right-click in it and choose Frame... | Borders. You can adjust or remove the border here. I trust this helps.

When I try to add it, the tool bar flashes, and then returns to its prior state. I can rotate text in the Format menu, but I prefer to work with icons. Is there a setting I am missing? You have only missed one setting: Tools Options Languages Settings Languages. Down near the bottom is the Enhanced language support. You must tick (check) the box labeled Enable for Asian languages. While this is in Help when you search for vertical text boxes, it is at the very bottom of the Show Draw Functions page on the right.

[users] Vertical text box
I have found two options for vertical text boxes if I understand your problem correctly. In Writer, click the table icon and then click one solitary cell. A text box results which can be resized and formatted using table properties at the bottom of the drop-down box from Table in the standard toolbar. Alternatively, open Calc and select a cell. Click Format and then click cell properties. The resulting dialog box gives you quite a bit of latitude in terms of formatting the text within the cell. After you get the text entered and the cell formatted the way you want them. Copy the cell to your document. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
