    Hello, i think the best way is to go to the Indesign Uservoice to add this function

    Adobe InDesign Feedback

    I made a post in the french forum about this

    Why on earth does the "help" page refer to a Vertical Type Tool in Indesign? Very, very confusing! Create text and text frames in InDesign

      There is a Vertical Text tool in Illustrator. You could create what you want there.

      Dear Dov,

      Thank you for your information, unfortunately no Vertical Text Tool for all language, please add this Vertical Text Tool on the next InDesign Update... this Vertical Text Tool  I think for the user very useful as they want to create a Cover Book or a DVD Case Cover with the Vertical Text for vertical area between left & side area, without import from Illustrator.

      B/regards,
