Q: How do I rotate text in a table in Pages?

In word you can put the orientation of the text going vertical in the cell in a table.

How do I rotate the text 90 degrees whilst it is in a table?

thanks

    But Pages is not Word... is not a Word clone, and does not provide the controls to rotate text in a table.

     

    Either use Word, or LibreOffice Writer to rotate text in a table cell.

    When you cannot find something in Pages or its limited Help menu, ask here, but share what specific version of Pages and OS X that you use. There are three different Pages products that work on Yosemite and El Capitan.

     

    There are many features that ought to be standard in Pages v5, but as many frustrated souls have discovered, they are absent.
