Make Text Vertical

[onlye]

OK, I have done this before but it plum eludes me now.

I want a word to be vertical. How do I do that? I searched help in Xara but no help.

onlye, for a single word or phrase, create a text area, centre-justified and then make it thin so all letters are now vertical. Adjust line-spacing.

Or, click the text cursor on the screen, then select Center Justified, then letter, return, letter, return, letter, return, etc.

The simplest way is like Acorn said, make thin text box and center justify font size seems to make no difference but text box size does far as I can tell or simply type a letter and press enter after each letter select letters center justify.

Thanks all.
Using the return after each letter makes is possible to resize the text box and the letters get bigger/smaller but stay on their own line. With out the return the letters may move up or down to another line. All that and what was in my head for a logo didn't look so good outside my head.

We probably needed to rename TalkGraphics to the Senior Moment Forum. Many of us are getting to the age of forgetfulness.

lets make that the age at which we forget things we should remember

Or you might have been asking about this?
