I am sharing this since it took me a long time of experimenting with different settings and searching every tutorial I could before I finally figured this out.

Here is a step by step guide to making your text go vertical and read from top to bottom.

 

1) Use the Text tool to create a text layer. Choose the font and color you want.

2) If you have [Keep aspect ratio] checked, uncheck it for now.

3) Use the HORIZONTAL orientation. If you use the vertical option your word will look like the word "Eve" in Picture 1. Type a letter than hit enter, and keep doing this until the full word is typed in. When you're finished it should looked spaced out like the word "Oriana" in Picture 1.

4) Click the pencil icon in Picture 1 to open up the sub tool setting menu.

 

5) Highlight all of the letters and under [Line Space/Alignment] adjust the spacing to your preference.

6) Adjust the letter sizes to your liking using the blue corners and when finished check [Keep aspect ratio] so you can scale it to the size you want.

MAKE SURE TO CLICK THE CHECK WHEN YOU FINISH OR YOU WILL LOSE ALL YOUR WORK AND NEED TO START OVER

If all went well, your text should look like Picture 2 😊

I really hoped this helped you without needing to search forever or experiment for as long as I had to 😁
