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.
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.
