Setting text direction and text orientation

Set text direction

Text direction determines the horizontal flow of the text within a paragraph. This setting is particularly useful when working with right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian.

1. Place the cursor within the paragraph you need, or select several paragraphs.
2. Tap the icon at the top toolbar to open the text settings panel.
3. On the Text tab, tap the Text Direction option and select the necessary direction:
   • Left to Right — the text flows from left to right (default for most languages).
   • Right to Left — the text flows from right to left (used for Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.).

Set text orientation

Text orientation determines whether the text is displayed horizontally or vertically within a text box or table cell.

The Text Orientation option is only available when the cursor is placed inside a text box or a table cell.

1. Place the cursor within the paragraph you need, or select several paragraphs.
2. Tap the icon at the top toolbar to open the text settings panel.
3. On the Text tab, tap the Text Orientation option and select the necessary orientation:
   • Horizontal Text — displays the text horizontally (default).
   • Rotate Text Up — rotates the text 90° counterclockwise.
   • Rotate Text Down — rotates the text 90° clockwise.
