4 Select the Vertical checkbox in the Type palette, and then click Apply to apply the current settings. Canvas applies the vertical option to the selected text objects, or to the Text tool. When you set the Text tool to create vertical text, lines of text that you type are vertical, with text flowing from top to bottom and lines running from right to left. This is the same as the orientation of text within an existing text object when you apply the Vertical option. You can also create text objects with the same vertical text orienta- tion using the Vertical Text tool. To change text orientation to horizontal in an object:  Select a text object containing vertical text. In the Type palette, deselect the “Vertical” checkbox, and then click Apply. Using vertical text in publication layouts To make it easy to create text layouts in Publication documents, choose Layout > Column Guides and create the number of columns you want to use. Then, use the Vertical Text Object tool to click between column guides. This creates a text column sized to fit the column guides. The column extends from the point you click to the left margin of the page. If the column guides are outside the printable area, the column text remains inside the printable area. For more information, see “Vertical Text Object tool” on page 15.235. Vertical Text tool The Vertical Text tool lets you type text in vertical columns that flow from top to bottom and right to left. This makes it easy to create ver- tical columns of text in languages that use vertical text, or when you work on a publication in which text runs across a page. When you type with the Vertical Text tool, the text characters flow from top to bottom on screen; this looks the same as text created with the Text tool and then rotated 90 degrees clockwise. To create empty text objects, such as for a document template, to contain vertical text, you can use the Vertical Text Object tool; see “Vertical Text Object tool” on page 15.235. To define a column for vertical text 1 Select the Vertical Text tool in the toolbox. The pointer changes to a horizontal I-beam. The horizontal I-beam indicates that text will flow from top to bottom. Vertical Text tool Tip If the Vertical Text tool isn’t available because the two-byte text preference isn’t selected, you can get the same effect by rotating text 90 degrees with the Rotate command in the Effects menu.
