Re: Changing Text Direction

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Bob,

:) Thank you very much...I don't have a 'Text Direction' choice in my 'Page
Layout,' (at least I haven't found it yet...must be hiding somewhere!), but I
did find the one you told me about on the 'Layout' tab. I also discovered if
I right click while in the area I want to change the text, I get the choice
in the little window that pops up...nothing like finding things by accident.
Thank you so much for responding back so quickly...I've been using this new
version for a little while and I really love it, but sometimes it throws me
for a loop and I can't find what I was used to using in the 2003 version!
Thanks again! :) :) :)

Hi Val,

There is a 'Text Direction' choice on the 'Page Layout' tab in the ribbon.
It will work for selected text whether in a table or in the document that lets you choose the options you want to use

If you're in a table there is also a Text Direction tool on the
Table Tools=>Layout tab=>Alignment section Clicking this tool repeatedly walks the text through different orientations.

Also, while in a table you can right click and the Text Direction menu from Word 2003 is available.

Hi I want to change the direction of text in a document or table from
horizontal to vertical in Word 2007. I used to be able to do this in Word
2003, but cannot find the tool I used to use. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,
