FAQ
Will the text box size change automatically after I change text direction?
- Yes. After you switch to vertical text or a rotated direction, the visual width and height balance of the text box may change.
- If the text looks crowded, drag the text box border to resize it manually.
- After resizing, check alignment, position, and slide spacing again.
Can I change the direction of only part of the text in one text box?
- No. The Text Direction setting applies to the entire text box.
- If you need mixed directions on one slide, insert multiple separate text boxes.
- Then apply a different text direction to each text box.
Why does the text look uneven after I apply a new direction?
- First, check whether the text box is too small.
- Then check how the current font looks in vertical or rotated display.
- If needed, adjust font size, line spacing, alignment, or switch to another font that fits the layout better.
Where can I find the Text Direction command?
- First, double-click the text box and select the target text box or text.
- Open the Home or Text Tools tab.
- In the Paragraph group, open the Text Direction drop-down menu.
