How can I change the text direction / orientation from Horizontal to Vertical without using Wordart and without having support for Asian languages?
 
Tombie,

Have you tried either

(1)
select the text
draw menu
rotate or flip
choose "rotate left"

Or

(2)
selecting the text
right click
Format autoshape
text box tab
"tick" rotate text within autoshape by 90degrees?

Cheers

The usual dodge is to type

L shift+enter
i shift+enter
k shift+enter
e shift+enter
<space> shift+enter
t shift+enter
h shift+enter
i shift+enter
s shift+enter

then format the text as centered

[TOP ISSUE - Are you having difficulty opening presentations in PowerPoint
that you just created (you can save, but not open)? -

Hello,

If none of the suggestions provided give you the functionality that you
were looking for or, if you (or anyone else reading this message) have
suggestions for how and why you think PowerPoint should provide this
functionality (or make it easier), don't forget to send your feedback (in
YOUR OWN WORDS, please) to Microsoft at:

http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

It's VERY important that, for EACH wish, you describe in detail, WHY it is
important TO YOU that your product suggestion be implemented. A good wish
submssion includes WHAT scenario, work-flow, or end-result is blocked by
not having a specific feature, HOW MUCH time and effort ($$$) is spent
working around a specific limitation of the current product, etc. Remember
that Microsoft receives THOUSANDS of product suggestions every day and we
read each one but, in any given product development cycle, there are ONLY
sufficient resources to address the ones that are MOST IMPORTANT to our
customers so take the extra time to state your case as CLEARLY and
COMPLETELY as possible so that we can FEEL YOUR PAIN.

IMPORTANT: Each submission should be a single suggestion (not a list of
suggestions).
