| 378379 | 2005-08-05 01:43:00 | I want to do vertical typing in a worksheet. When I go to cell and right click format cells go to alignment tab select vertical it still types horizontaly. I have Excel 97. The sheet is just a table there are no formulas or anything. I need to verticaly type down 4 or 5 rows. I cant type horizontaly because there isnt enough room in landscape to get all the stuff on. Thanks for any help I could email the sheet to someone if it would be easier to work out what I want to do tedheath |

| 378382 | 2005-08-05 07:03:00 | Make sure yiou select Verical in the "Orientation" part of the dialogue box, not the "Text Alignment" Other than that there is no step by step/ |

| 378383 | 2005-08-05 10:31:00 | "Horizontal" and "Vertical" only control the position of text within a cell. To change the direction of orientation of text within a cell, click on the red pointer at the end of the word "Text" in the quadrant on the right and drag it to either +90° or -90° for vertical text and click OK. |
