Operation Manual

4 Choose one of the following orientation options from the Text orientation list box:
• Horizontal
• Vertical
The default orientation for Asian text is horizontal.
When you change the text orientation from horizontal to vertical, underlines become left lines and overlines become right lines.
The text orientation setting applies to the entire text object. You cannot have text with different orientations in one text object.
If you have Asian text support installed with your operating system, you can also change text orientation by clicking the Vertical text
orientation or Horizontal text orientation buttons on the Text toolbar.
Using line-breaking rules for Asian text
Corel DESIGNER includes line-breaking rules for use with Asian text when you have an Asian operating system. For most Asian languages, a
line of text can break between any two characters, with a few exceptions. Some characters cannot appear at the beginning of a line. These
characters are referred to as “leading characters.” Other characters — referred to as “following characters” — cannot appear at the end of a
line. The line breaks either after the following character or before the character that precedes the following character. Still others — referred
to as “overflow characters” — are not wrapped but are, instead, allowed to extend beyond the right or bottom margin.
To enforce one or more of the line-breaking rules, you can enable any of the rules. To customize the rules, you can add or remove characters.
You can also reset the rules to the default.
To disable or enable line-breaking rules
1
Click Text Line-breaking rules.
2 In the Asian line-breaking rules dialog box, enable any of the following check boxes:
• Leading characters — ensures that a line does not break before any of the characters in the list
• Following characters — ensures that a line does not break after any of the characters in the list
• Overflow characters — ensures that the characters in the list are allowed to extend beyond the margin of the line
