FAQ
Why does the cell content look crowded after I change the text direction?
- Confirm that the text direction was applied to the correct cell.
- Check whether the current column width and row height still fit the new text layout.
- Increase the column width or row height if needed.
- If necessary, continue adjusting horizontal or vertical alignment.
Where can I enter a specific rotation angle?
- Select the target cell.
- Open the Format Cells: Alignment arrow icon on the Home tab, or right-click the cell and open Format Cells.
- Open the Alignment tab.
- Enter the angle value or drag the pointer in the Orientation area.
Will rotated text display correctly when I print the sheet?
- Rotated text is printed according to the current cell formatting.
- Before printing, open Print Preview.
- If headers or content look crowded, adjust row height, column width, or scaling first.
- Print the sheet after the layout looks clear.
What kind of content works well with vertical text?
- Vertical text is often suitable for Chinese headers, short labels, or content that needs to save horizontal space.
- If the cell contains longer text, test readability before keeping the vertical layout.
- In report-style sheets, vertical text can work well with narrower columns.
- Review the full sheet to keep the layout consistent.
