Insert full-width East Asian character for date and time

The feature described in this Help topic is only available if support for East Asian languages is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

  1. Select a text box or table in which to insert date and time.
  2. On the Insert menu, click Date and Time.
  3. Select the Use full width characters checkbox.
  4. Click OK.

Note   Date and time inserted using full-width characters will not be updated automatically.

Tip

When you insert date and time using half-width characters in vertical text, the characters remain horizontal text. To format them as vertical text, enter date and time using full-width characters or apply horizontal in vertical to half-width characters.
