Working with Asian and Middle Eastern text

You can type Asian or Middle Eastern text if you are using an operating system that has the appropriate language support, or if you have an Input Method Editor (IME). You can change the font properties of Asian and Middle Eastern text. To limit the changes only to Asian and Middle Eastern text, you can choose the appropriate script type. For example, to change the font size of Japanese text in a document that has both English and Japanese text, choose the Asian script type, and then make the changes you want. This applies the new font size to only the Japanese text, the English text size is unaffected.

In addition, you can mix Asian text with Latin text in one text object and set the spacing in between the two words. For example, you can specify the spacing in between Japanese text and English text that display in a text object. You can also change text orientation if you are using an Asian operating system or an operating system with Asian support enabled.

The language spacing value is based on the percentage of a standard word space. For example, two spaces are represented by typing a value of 200.

To change the orientation of Asian text Back to Top

A text object can have only one orientation. Changing the orientation of text as you type changes the orientation for the entire text object.

The default orientation for Asian text is horizontal.
