Vertical text direction missing?

[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 (10.27 KiB) Viewed 11984 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

Please attach a sample file that demonstrates that problem. Thank you!

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.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have forwarded this feature request to our developers team.
