Make Vertical Words Inkspace
Making text vertical in Word isn’t easy if you don’t know where to look. There is no simple way of getting Word to display vertically aligned text, but there is a sneaky way. Vertical Text In A Text BoxFirst of all, you’ll need your text in a text box. To insert a text box in your document, go to the Insert tab and click Text Box (in the Text group).
Step 1, Open Inkscape, click on the text tool (capital A) and type in your text in your document. Don't span a frame with the tool, as in that case moving and rotating doesn't work afterwards. The font used here is called Kartika to show you the effects.Step 2, Still in the text tool, select the letter that you want to move around. Here, the w is selected.Step 3, Holding down the ALT key (not the CTRL key), use the arrow keys and move your selected text around. This is tracking the text.

When the Text Box gallery opens, choose the text box style you want. Most people will find that the Simple Text Box (the first option) suffices but go ahead and knock yourself out.When the text box has been inserted in the document, you can start typing in it. Click to enlargeAs the image above shows, when the text box is selected, the Drawing Tools tab is displayed in the ribbon.
This is just what we need: go to the Format tab and click Text Direction (in the Text group). Choose the direction that suits you.For vertical text you will need either the Rotate all text 90 degrees or the Rotate all text 270 degrees option.
One has the text direction facing downwards and the other upwards.Now this is really weird: when you place the cursor in your vertical text, it changes to a horizontal cursor. And when you type, the text continues in your new chosen direction. Vertical Text In A Table CellAnother way to get vertical text is to type it into a table cell.
While the table is selected (simply having the cursor in a table cell selects the table), you’ll see the Table Tools tab displayed in the ribbon. Go to the Layout tab within. In the Alignment group, you should see the Text Direction command. If you click repeatedly on that button, the orientation of the text in the selected cell will cycle through horizontal – 90 degrees – 270 degrees.
