Using the Wari-Chu (divided note) option

The Wari-Chu option in the Character palette decreases the type size of selected text to a percentage of the original and stacks the type--horizontally or vertically, according to the orientation--on two lines.

Regardless of the point size of wari-chu text, the number of wari-chu lines is always two.


Text without Wari-Chu option compared to text with Wari-Chu option.

Note: The Wari-Chu option does not work with path type and does not affect type entered on open or closed paths.

To create a divided note with the Wari-Chu option:

1. Using any type tool, select the type to be divided.
2. If the multilingual options are not visible in the Character palette, choose Show Multilingual from the palette menu.
3. Select the Wari-Chu option.
4. To change the wari-chu type size (as a percentage of the original point size), enter a percentage in the Scale text box (below the Wari-Chu option). The default is 50%.
