How do I show my text vertically in a table cell? I can align the text vertically using the toolbar buttons, but that just moves the word up, middle, or down, and leaves the word horizontal. I want to display the text like this:
<PRE>
t t
e x
x or e
t t
</PRE>
Other than reversing the internal letters (ex in the first, xe in the second), how are the two examples different?
If what you actually want is to rotate the word 'text' 90 degrees left or right, so that the base of the letters is on the left and the word reads down the page, or so that the base of the letters is on the right and the word reads up the page, the answer is "Feature not available." At least not directly. You can place the word into a text box, rotate the box 90 degrees left or right, then place the box as a floating object over the correct column.
If you actually want to have the text look like the column on the left, that can be accomplished fairly directly.
Insert a text box into the document.
In the text box, type:
t shift-return e shift-return x shift-return t
Press command-A to Select All the text.
Press command-C to Copy.
Click on the cell where the text is to go.
Press command-V to Paste.
