Rotate vertical type characters
When working with vertical type, you can rotate the direction of characters by 90°. Rotated characters appear upright;
unrotated characters appear sideways (perpendicular to the type line).
Original type (left) and type without vertical rotation (right)
1 Select the vertical type you want to rotate or unrotate.
2 Choose Standard Vertical Roman Alignment from the Character panel menu. A check mark indicates that the
option is selected.
Note: You cannot rotate double-byte characters (full-width characters available only in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
fonts). Any double-byte characters in the selected range will not be rotated.
Change the orientation of a type layer
The orientation of a type layer determines the direction of type lines in relation to the document window (for point
type) or the bounding box (for
paragraph type). When a type layer is vertical, the type flows up and down; when a type
layer is horizontal, the type flows from left to right. Don’t confuse the orientation of a type layer with the direction of
characters in a type line.
1 Select the type layer in the Layers panel.
2 Do one of the following:
Select a type tool, and click the Text Orientation button in the options bar.
Choose Layer > Type > Horizontal, or choose Layer > Type > Vertical.
Choose Change Text Orientation from the Character panel menu.
