How can I type vertically in InDesign CC 2017 when I need to layout Chinese or Japanese? There is no vertical choice in Type tool now.

Hi huis15466420,
To work with vertical type, please download InDesign CC in Chinese or Japanese. You can do this by going to your Creative Cloud Desktop app preferences, change the language, and install InDesign in that language. Full instructions on how to do this can be found in this article: Change the language setting of your Creative Cloud apps
After you've downloaded this version, you should have access to vertical character composition. Here's a full article on composing vertically with CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters: Compose CJK characters in InDesign
Please let me know if you have any more questions on how to work with vertical type.
Best,
Wren
