Formatting fields and text for vertical writing
• Rotate the characters only, but not the field or text object. In this case, each character is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, but the characters still display left-to-right and columns remain horizontal.
• Rotate both the characters and the field or text object. In this case, each character is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and the text object or field object is also rotated 90 degrees clockwise so that characters display on screen in vertical format, with characters displaying top-to-bottom in vertical columns.Note Alphabetic and numeric half-width (hankaku) characters do not rotate when you specify Sideways, but alphabetic and numeric full-width (zenkaku) characters do rotate. For example, when an address field containing half-width numbers for a street number is specified as Sideways, the half-width numbers remain in their original orientation. You can use functions to convert alphabetic or numeric half-width characters to full-width characters or Chinese numbers. For more information, see the Notes section below.
