I'd like to print text vertically - not
l
i
k
e

t
h
i
s

but just like normal typing, except its vertical. The purpose is to be printed - no it can't be printed landscape, because there will be some text that will be normal as well.

I'm thinking some CSS/CSS-P, but I am not very familiar with it, except for font styles...

Hi there rfung,

Do you mean something like this...

<p style="writing-mode: tb-rl;height:450px;">

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing
elit. Praesent blandit venenatis purus. Integer massa
libero, vehicula id, consequat sed, tincidunt nec,
purus. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent
per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos. Suspendisse
potenti. Nunc vulputate magna non magna. Aenean lorem
eros, adipiscing quis, semper non, dictum a, nunc.
Curabitur ut sem. Pellentesque a est id neque hendrerit
ultrices. Donec vulputate tincidunt turpis. Curabitur
dignissim vestibulum nunc. Aliquam felis lorem,
ultrices sit amet, convallis a, accumsan vel, ante.
Proin aliquam turpis sed augue. In pellentesque, magna
a pulvinar adipiscing, est orci adipiscing felis, sed
laoreet urna magna quis neque. Proin facilisis aliquet urna.

</p>

This, of course, is only IE compatable.
