Text appearing in a vertical way
Hello there,
am using word 2007, and i had an error which is severe error. Whenever i want to write on word, everything i write appears as if i am writing in a vertical way. I tried to un-install office, then re-install it, and its the same problem, knowing that other microsoft office applications (excel, powerpoint, ...) are working fine. Please i would appreciate looking into this matter ASAP. Regards, Hadi. |

Text appearing in a vertical way
Can you provide a better explanation of what you are seeing eg is the text
on its side (I can't imagine how you would achieve that) or in a narrow column, in which case I would check the margin settings and the language settings for Asian languages? -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Hadi Chaaban wrote: Hello there, am using word 2007, and i had an error which is severe error.

Text appearing in a vertical way
Dear Mr. Graham Mayor,
The thing that i can see is whenever i write anything in word, it appears in a vertical way. Normaly, whenever u wanna write in any program, the cursor is flashing in a horizental shape "from top to down", while in my microsoft office its appearing in a vertical way "from left to right and vice versa".

You said that before? Unfortunately it does not convey the problem clearly.
I appreciate English is not your first language, but there is a communication problem here. Sorry In an English language version of the software the Word cursor is a vertival bar and text runs from left to right. If your language requires something different, check the Office Tools Language Settings are matched to that language. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Hadi Chaaban wrote: Dear Mr. Graham Mayor, The thing that i can see is whenever i write anything in word, it appears in a vertical way.

Text appearing in a vertical way
Well, the cursor is normally a vertical bar | that *moves* from left to
right, but in physical appearance it "runs" from top to bottom (that is, it's vertical). I suspect from Hadi's description that what he's seeing is rotated text such as you would see if you changed the text direction in a table, frame, or text box, but I don't know why you would see that in a new blank document unless there *were* a table, frame, or text box there. If all the toolbars and everything are also rotated, then possibly it's a monitor issue. I have a new flatscreen that can be rotated 90° to portrait orientation, and, although I haven't experimented with this, I assume there's a combination of hardware and software issues involved with this. I know that there are keyboard shortcuts that, on some monitors, will rotate the screen 90° or 180° (presumably for those twisty tablet/laptop combos); they don't work on my current desktop monitor, and I haven't experimented on the new one, but I believe they are Ctrl+Alt+various arrow keys. -- Suzanne S.

Text appearing in a vertical way
I can't see how you would rotate the screen just for Word? The table/text
box maybe a plan -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

I agree that we need more data from the OP.
