Which word processors and websites support vertical writing of Chinese?

Chinese Language Asked on November 13, 2021

I am aware of 好讀, which allows you to read Chinese novels displayed vertically.

  1. Is there a convenient (preferably free of charge) word processor if I wish to type a Chinese document vertically?
  2. When I browse a Chinese website, it there a way to convert the writing to the vertical direction?
  3. Which website(s) display Chinese vertically?

Regarding #2, you can try installing Stylebot or a similar browser extension, then adding the following custom styles:

body * {
  writing-mode: tb-rl;
  text-orientation: upright;
}

#stylebot-container * {
    writing-mode: lr-tb !important;
}

Layout will be anywhere from a bit messed up to massively messed up, depending on the site, but the text will be vertical. Not sure exactly why you'd want to do this, but there you go.

Microsoft word support this function. Click layout -> text direction -> vertical.
