How-to Guide

1. Adjust the Tilt Angle

Feature path: Tools → Home → “…” to the right of the text alignment area → Tilt Angle

1. Select the cell where you want to change the text direction.
2. Tap Tools at the bottom.
3. Switch to the Home tab.
4. Tap the … icon to the right of the text alignment area.
5. In Tilt Angle, tap + or - to adjust the text angle.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The text inside the cell appears at the selected angle.
• What you can do next: You can continue editing content or refine the layout with row height and wrap text.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you do not select a cell first, the change may not apply to the intended content.
• Environment note: The visual result can vary depending on text length and cell size.

2. Fix Incomplete Display or Messy Layout

Feature path: After changing text direction, adjust row height and wrap text as needed

1. Check whether the rotated text is clipped, incomplete, or crowded inside the cell.
2. Increase the row height for the affected row if needed.
3. Turn on wrap text when the content is longer and needs more space inside the cell.
4. If the result is still not ideal, return to Tilt Angle and fine-tune the angle.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The text is displayed more completely and the cell layout looks clearer.
• What you can do next: You can continue entering, reviewing, or saving spreadsheet content.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Changing only the angle without adjusting row height can leave vertical text or large-angle text clipped.
• Environment note: Extreme angles can reduce readability, so smaller angles are often easier to use.

3. Restore Default Horizontal Text

Feature path: Format Cells → Alignment

1. Select the cells you want to restore.
2. Open Format Cells.
3. Go to Alignment settings.
4. Clear Vertical Text.
5. Set the angle to 0°.
6. Confirm the setting and return to the spreadsheet.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: The text returns to the default horizontal display.
• What you can do next: You can continue normal editing, copying, or pre-print review.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: If you clear vertical text but do not reset the angle to 0°, some rotation may remain.
