Surprisingly, in recent versions of Word at least, you can also change the
text direction in a frame.

Yes. You can put the text in a textbox or frame, positioned anywhere. Or
you
can set the left and right paragraph indents to negative values.

You can change the text direction of text in a textbox or table cell:
select
the text, then select 'Text Direction' on the format menu.

Also
