Vertical text

[Roy]

I would like to write text vertically from top to bottom
in a very narrow cell, could someone explain how this is
done?

Thanks

Type each letter followed by a [Shift][Enter]
- a <br> tag

Thanks Stefan, that works fine. Is it possible to get the
letters closer together, there is a 1 space gap between
each letter which I would like to get rid of but can`t.

Thanks

You can use an inline style statement for HTML tags:

<p style="letter-spacing: 1pt;">Text</p>
<p style="letter-spacing: 0.1em;">Text</p>

letter-spacing controls the spacing between letters. I'm not sure
if it handles verticle spacing though. In place of letter-spacing,
you might try line-height:10pt; If the font size is 9pt, then then you
can use a line-height of 8pt to reduce the space between lines.

You might want to mess with the pixel settings as well. Using px
instead of em or pt.

em is the width-size of the letter 'm' or something to that effect.

Let us know if that helps. I'd use a classed style statement to
produce the effect for certain tags.

<style><!--
..compressed {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
line-height: 9px;
}
-->
</style>

<p class="compressed">
T<br />
E<br />
X<br />
T<br />
</p>

Hope that helps! ;-)
