• Tate Chu Yoko rotates the selected block of text (1- or 2-byte characters) in the plane
opposite from the rest of the text.

Changing text orientation using the Text Orientation command
The Text Orientation command lets you change text from a horizontal orientation to a
vertical orientation, and vice versa.
To change a text block orientation from horizontal to vertical, and vice versa:
1 Select a text block with any selection tool.
2 Choose either Type > Type Orientation > Horizontal or Type > Type Orientation >
Vertical.
Using the Wari-Chu (divided note) option
The Wari-Chu option in the Character palette decreases the type size of selected text to a
percentage of the original and stacks the type—horizontally or vertically, according to the
orientation—on two lines.
Regardless of the point size of wari-chu text, the number of wari-chu lines is always two.
Text without Wari-Chu option compared to text with Wari-Chu option.
Note: The Wari-Chu option does not work with path type and does not affect type entered
on open or closed paths.
To create a divided note with the Wari-Chu option:
1 Using any type tool, select the type to be divided.
2 If the multilingual options are not visible in the Character palette, choose Show Multi-
lingual from the palette menu.
3 Select the Wari-Chu option.
