But note that the Text Direction item becomes enabled only if the
cursor is in a table cell, a text box, or a drawing object.

For tear-off phone numbers, use a one-row-by-24-column table -- in a
6-inch text column that will make each cell 0.25" wide. In the first
cell, change the text direction, type the phone number, format the
font, and adjust the row depth if necessary to avoid text wrapping.
Select the first cell and copy it. Then select the whole table and
paste, which will duplicate the number to the rest of the cells.
