Question

A documentação do Office para o MergeField somente menciona o seguinte:

Answer 1

Qual é o propósito do switch '\ v' do MergeField?

Parece que a opção \v se destina a idiomas do leste asiático documentos onde os caracteres são dispostos verticalmente.

Isso pode ajudar você a entender:

As far as I know the \v switch is intended for East Asian language documents where the characters are laid out vertically.

In that case text in Latin character sets can be displayed in two formats. It can either be written so the characters are in their "normal" orientation , but one character below the next, e.g.

l
i
k
e

t
h
i
s

or the entire text can in effect be rotated through 90 degrees, so that (if you like) you would have to turn your head sideways to read the text.

Because different characters are used depending on which way you do it, \v is used to "convert" the characters for the first layout, and no \v does the second layout.

So using \v you would only get the vertical layout you want if you selected Page Setup-Document Grid-Text direction-Vertical and

• (a) you may only get to see that option if you have an East Asian language enabled in Office (or in Vista, in Control Panel-Regional settings) and

• (b) this sets up the entire page for vertical text.
