I see in the instructions where it says that fonts that start with the "@" are vertical, but I do not see any that start with that symbol. I am trying to fill in text inside of a box but can't seem to figure it out.

To fill text inside a shape--you have to make select the vector shape in which you want to place the text before pushing the "draw text-within a vector box" button.

As for vertical text...I don't have an @ symbol fonts in my software either. Though in their example the text is just rotated 90 degrees--which you could do with the rotation tool.

If you want the text to be arranged vertically with all the characters upright, you can draw a vertical line, select the "text on a curve" function and check the box for "keep text vertical". Also you could hit return after each character and use center justified.

almost the moment after I submitted that I found the "@" symbols were in the regular text area but not the "fill in the vector/box" option. I was wanting the letters to stay horozontal and just go down instead of across but have not figured that out yet.

Have you tried hitting the Enter key after each letter as you're entering the text?

Is this what you want to do?

Yes that does work. Not sure why I didn't think about it thanks again.
