In this tutorial you will learn the procedures for changing the orientation and direction of text without using the Transform tools

Create a new document and click the Text tool in the Toolbar. Open Properties tab (press Ctrl+F3 if it doesn't show up) and choose Static Text, click on the "Change Orientation of Text" and select Vertical, Left to Right option

 

Now click on your document and start typing in the box that appears. 

 If you want to rotate your text, select Rotation button on the Properties tab

Please notice that the Rotate Text button is enabled only for vertical text fields. To rotate horizontal text fields, either convert them to vertical or use the Free Transform tool!
