Vertical "Text boxes" are easy.
Paste your text into a Text box, using a mono-spaced font (such as Andale Mono, shown here), Grab the handle at one end of the box and drag it toward the other until the box is narrow enough to force the letters into a single column. (Won't work with a proportional spacing font—a column wide enough for a W is wide enough to hold 'it' and other similar combinations.)
