FAQ
Where can I find the Text Direction feature?

Why does the text look awkward after I change the direction?
- Check whether the current row height and column width are too small.
- Increase row height or column width so the rotated text has enough space.
- Choose a different preset direction or enter a more suitable angle value based on the text length.
Will rotated text print incorrectly?
