What part of "You can do this" do you not understand? The text direction in
any cell is independent of the text direction in other cells. You can't have
two different text directions in the same cell, but you should be able to
split cells to meet that requirement.

You can create vertical text by selecting 'Text Direction' from the

menu. The text mut be in a table cell or in a textbox.

Thank you but what I want to do is to be able to place
text in a vertical AND at a 90% right angle to the text
in the other columns.

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:

a
