Can Text Direction be applied via Styles and Formatting?
Hi there,
I would like to set up the header row in a 4 column table such that the last 3 columns have the text in a vertical orientation. I know it can be done manually by selecting the three cells and then "Format/Text Direction". But can it be done by applying a Formatting Style? When I modify the style (I call it "Cell Vertical"), there are many formatting options available, but no option to change the text direction. Thanks for your help. |

As far as I know, text direction is a property of the cell or textbox, not of the paragraph. |

Can Text Direction be applied via Styles and Formatting?
Hi Mark,
In general, text rotation direction is a container property. You can define the text rotation direction of a table cell, text box/shape or a Word document section and its content. Text input direction, rather than rotation (i.e. Left-to-Right or Right-to-rand Left) can be part of a formatting style. ============= "mark_on_web" wrote in message ...
