Hi, I've read a Vertical Type Tool exists, I presume, among the text tools. I only found two tools: Type tool and Type On A Path tool!

Greetings.

    InDesign has never had a vertical type tool (except perhaps for Asian languages, which I'm not familiar with). You would need to do it in Illustrator, and place it into InDesign.

    Hi,

    In the Japanese version(for example) of InDesign, there does exist a vertical type tool. For Roman locales, the vertical type tool is not there.

    You can download the Japenese version of InDesign by changing the language preferences from the Creative Cloud Desktop application.

    Hi,

    you might heard from someone who is using a Japanese or Chinese version of InDesign.

    Or from someone who is using Illustrator?

    Hi, you mean the Vertical Type Tool exists only in the Japanese and in the Chinese versions and not in the other country versions? I really intend to use the italian one. So I hope this will be resolved in the next update. Yes in Illustrator the Vertical Type Tool exists and works properly.

    Regards.
