Why does the cell content look crowded after I change the text direction?

  1. Confirm that the text direction was applied to the correct cell.
  2. Check whether the current column width and row height still fit the new text layout.
  3. Increase the column width or row height if needed.
  4. If necessary, continue adjusting horizontal or vertical alignment.

Where can I enter a specific rotation angle?

  1. Select the target cell.
  2. Open the Format Cells: Alignment arrow icon on the Home tab, or right-click the cell and open Format Cells.
  3. Open the Alignment tab.
  4. Enter the angle value or drag the pointer in the Orientation area.

Will rotated text display correctly when I print the sheet?

  1. Rotated text is printed according to the current cell formatting.
  2. Before printing, open Print Preview.
  3. If headers or content look crowded, adjust row height, column width, or scaling first.
  4. Print the sheet after the layout looks clear.

What kind of content works well with vertical text?

  1. Vertical text is often suitable for Chinese headers, short labels, or content that needs to save horizontal space.
  2. If the cell contains longer text, test readability before keeping the vertical layout.
  3. In report-style sheets, vertical text can work well with narrower columns.
  4. Review the full sheet to keep the layout consistent.
