MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / September 2006Vertical Text
I have managed to change the direction of text in Word. I am not talking about the text direction inside a text box or table cell, but the default background text. The text direction button is greyed-out (as you are not supposed to be able to change it in the first place). I caused the problem by using Adobe Acrobat Pro to convert a pdf document to a word document. Opening the document resulted in vertical text, and now all newly created documents have the same vertical text formatting, with a horizontal cursor shown at the top right of the page, facing down to type text in a vertical direction. I would like to change it back! Make sure that your language settings are correct. See http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/LangFmt.htm.

Thanks Stefan, have checked my language settings and are as normal. Seems weird but I reckon that a setting in normal.dot has changed that is not normally acessible through changing settings in Word. > Make sure that your language settings are correct.

Hold down the CTRL key while you start Word, which will activate Word's safe mode. If the problem is external to Word - eg from normal.dot, this will correct it. If it does so see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm then http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/ProbsOpeningWord.htm Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Thanks Stefan, have checked my language settings and are as normal. > Seems weird but I reckon that a setting in normal.dot has changed [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >>> >>> I would like to change it back! |
