Vertical text direction missing?

Post by Fridolin »

Hello,

I am currently evaluating SoftMaker Office (FreeOffice).

So far most of the available Microsoft Word documents worked flawless.
Only one problem occured, that I couldn´t solve: I have japanese documents that have a vertical text direction. This is a standard available option in Microsoft Word and used very often in Japan:
TextDirection.PNG
TextDirection.PNG (10.27 KiB) Viewed 7744 times
When I open an existing document with vertical direction it is displayed in horizontal direction and I can not find any option to change this.
Is that not yet implemented or only available in the full version of TextMaker - or did I just overlook that feature?

Cheers

I can see that there is already a ticket for the developers, but there is no indication on the timeframe (ticket 26474).

Any progress on this? Vertical text is essential if you work with Japanese - so please consider including that in an update.
