Alphabet settings

[Amvjb]

Hello,

Need setting for rotate/Flip/move single alphabet in a word or sentence.

For now, you can only move a letter or selection up/down with "baseline" and left/right with "kerning"/"tracking" character settings.

Hello @SVM,

What you can do is to make the one letter in question the same colour as the background (or transparent should work, too). Then place the same letter as an extra element exactly on top and rotate it. That way the spacing is exactly the same.

This is only a workaround and would work only for occasional rotated letters. But it should give you what you are looking for.

Apart from that I support your request 🙂

Cheers,
d.

Thank you very much for the response, but if developers set this setting, the designers will save time and even fill different colors in different letters quickly or move them as they wish. Hopefully it will ease soon.
Thanks again!

In case it helps you, you can simulate that in Publisher (though not in Designer or Photo) by Pinning a Text Frame Inline in another Text Frame. If you wanted to flip a single letter, make the frame just big enough for that letter, insert the letter, flip the frame, and pin it into the larger frame. It will act just like a letter.

Spell-checking and hyphenation won't work the same as if the word were completely in one frame, but the visual effect will be correct.

Thanks! Even if you try to run the suggested pinning solution I find it a bit complicated. Maybe I feel that way because of the lack of practice.
In the Coral Draw software it is very easy to change the color, font size, capitalize / small any alphabet or rotate some of the letters by the shape tool, as I expected.

You're welcome. And yes, it is somewhat complicated.
