Rotate type
-
To
rotate the characters within a type object by a specific number
of degrees, select the characters or type objects you want to change.
(If you don’t select any text, the rotation applies to new text
you create.) In the Character panel, set the Character Rotation
option
.
- To change horizontal type to vertical type, and vice
versa, select the type object and choose Type > Type
Orientation > Horizontal or Type > Type
Orientation > Vertical.
- To rotate an entire type object (both the characters
and the type bounding box), select the type object and use the bounding
box, Free Transform tool, Rotate tool, Rotate command, or Transform
panel to perform the rotation.
- To rotate multiple characters in vertical Asian text,
use the tate‑chu-yoko option to rotate multiple characters.
