Q: how to format row head text vertically
I have a checklist spreadsheet with a large number of rows. Since I fill the cells either with ✓ or keep them empty I’d like to turn the row head text into vertical direction to get spreadsheet’s width as small as possible.
How can I get this format?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Hi Frank-Michael,
Adding to SG's reply about not merging cells.
Text Boxes placed over the table Header cells will not respond to Numbers formulas. The Text Boxes are cosmetic. Any formulas in your document that refer to the Header cells will refer to the contents of those cells (and will ignore whatever is in the overlying Text Boxes). Therefore those Header cells must contain proper values, even if they are "Hidden" by blending into the cell fill colour.
Merging those Header cells will make no sense to any formula that refers to them.
Danger, Will Robinson! Do not merge those cells!
Regards,
Ian.
