sttomas Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi Apologies if this has been sorted elsewhere, probably very easy to sort out too. No idea what I've managed to do here but how on earth do I get my text back to normal, i.e. horizontal!! Quite bizarre as happens on both machines I'm using Publisher on Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sttomas Posted November 16, 2018 Author Share Posted November 16, 2018 Here's a page of a bit of text. I've created a new text box on there, as you can see it's vertical. No idea how this happened, I've looked at everything I can think of Sample page.afpub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increasing the width seems to fix your problem. (Edit: I'm not sure why the text frame appears to be as wide as it does on the page. When I make any change to the width in the Text Frame studio/panel the bounding box of the frame changes appropriately to reflect that changed width value.)

sttomas Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Ah brilliant, that has indeed solved it. I just upped the width to 1mm and suddenly it became 'interactive' again. Not sure how it got set to 0mm but doesn't seem to interact if it's set to that. Something to keep in mind Thanks for your help. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
