When using Text Direction, users commonly ask about 3 issue types: where to find the control, how broadly the effect applies, and how to adjust the layout after changes.
FAQ
Does the text box size change automatically after I change text direction?
- After you change text direction, the text arrangement inside the text box changes.
- When text is switched to a vertical or rotated direction, the visible width and height relationship of the text box may adapt to the content.
- If the layout does not look right, drag the text box border to adjust its size and position manually.
Can I change the direction of only part of the text in one text box?
- Text Direction usually applies to the entire text box.
- If you need different directions on the same slide, insert multiple text boxes and set each one separately.
- Then adjust the positions and alignment of those text boxes together.
How to rotate text in WPS on Mac if the result does not look obvious?
- First, make sure the text box or the text inside it is selected.
- Then check whether the current text box size is large enough to show the vertical, rotated, or stacked effect clearly.
