DavidDoesAffinity Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 (Publisher or Photo) Searching has not thrown up an answer. Currently, If I want to make a text frame for the vertical text on a "spine" ie book cover or in my case DVD sleeve, I would create the text box and then rotate it 90 degrees CW. This is how I have done it with AP from day 1 as in the early days I dont think it was possible. Is there now a "proper way" that has passed me by?

I use that as a workaround but in other apps I use in my work, vertical baseline is a mouse click. My workaround is not a big deal but I wanted to see if I was missing a basic option.

No because you have to then reposition, assuming I cant set a vertical baseline, which is another way of asking my question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok it seems I haven't missed anything that is the only way to achieve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
