When the parent to which you want to attach ruby covers two lines, the ruby will follow when the parent moves to the
next line.
Note: In some instances, such as when applying a style that includes a variable, Ruby characters may be removed.
1 Select the text to which you want to attach ruby. You cannot attach ruby when there are forced line breaks in the
selected text.
2 Select Ruby > Ruby from the Character panel menu or Control panel menu.
3 Enter the ruby characters in Ruby.
4 Change Ruby settings by clicking an option on the left side of the dialog box and specifying settings.
5 Click OK.
Ruby settings
The following options appear in the different panels of the Ruby dialog box.
Ruby Placement and Spacing
• From the Type menu, choose Per-Character or Group Ruby. When Per Character Ruby is selected, enter a half or
full width space when inputting Ruby characters to separate them in line with their parent characters. For
"hakunetsutou" for example, enter as "haku netsu tou" (example of a word composed of Japanese characters and its
phonetic spelling is given).
• From the Alignment menu, specify the position of the Ruby characters. You can check the position with the graphic
shown in the sample field.
• To attach ruby above horizontal text or to the right of vertical text, select Above/Right, and to attach below
horizontal text or to the left of vertical text, select Below/Left in Placement.
• Specify the spacing between the ruby and the parent in XOffset and YOffset. When you enter a minus value, the
ruby moves closer to the parent.
Ruby Font and Size
• Select a font family and font style in Font.
