[users] vertical text comes out wrong when exported to PDF

2010-05-09 Thread Tan Chen
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?

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.

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.

 Hi! there - sorry to be a worry to you, but I have a necessity to write with
 your OpenOffice 2 in vertical and I cannot seem to find anything that will
 allow me to do it in the programme .. that I can see, that is.  So I am
 coming to you to ask whether such an attribute exists - and I am just missing
 it.

 Many thanks for the help that is coming.

If he is trying to format the text like this: I
  f

  h
  e

  i
  s
I believe he needs to go into the Languages setting in Options and 
enable both settings in Enhanced language support.
From writer the following sequence: Tools - Options - Language 
Settings - Languages; check both options in bottom section Enabled for 
Asian Languages and Enabled for complex text layout (CTL)


That's what I had to do to be able to print a label for a notebook 
binder back.

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.

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.

A table may be your easiest way. Set your text. Highlight the text you
wish to rotate then Format - Character. Rotation is on one of the tabs.

Sorry, can't be more specific. This old PIII is running an old version
of OO.o.

Go into the help and search on rotating text for details.

Essentially, you save the text as an image and then rotate the image.

[users] Vertical text box

2006-04-28 Thread Karl Monroe
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.

Vertical text in either a frame or just on a page doesn't respect

It may appear that while editing, but after you hit enter it should 
rotate. If not, you need to file an issue.
