rongittings Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Hi, I'm guessing I've done something to create this problem but can't work out what to do to correct it: When I start typing the letters appear vertically, one below the other, rather than horizontally. Most grateful for a solution. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Check the Text Frame panel and look at the Left Indent value. Or possibly the Left Indent in the Paragraph panel.

rongittings Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 Thanks Walt, They're all set to zero. Raining them in the text frame panel just moves along the page but doesn't make them horizontal rather than vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Can you give us a full-screen screenshot, which includes the Layers Panel and Paragraph Panel, with the ‘problem layer’ selected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Also another object with active Text Wrap may cause this to your text frame. For the requested screenshot could you also please activate "Show Special Characters" (menu "Text") and have some characters selected with the text cursor in the affected frame.

R C-R Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 In the Text Frame panel Columns section you have the column width set to zero mm: Try a much larger value. like the full width of the frame, unless you have a reason to set it to a smaller value.
