Default 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.

is your answer!

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