Using Word 2000 9.0.2720

I have made a template with a table having 3 columns.

On the end columns I want to type so that the
characters are at 90o the center column, Left facing in
the left column and right facing in the right column.
(Like on the splines of a CD jewel case)

Can it be done and how?

The only thing I could find in help was to be able to
type like this:
