Bottom to top vertical text

How can I change the direction of a vertical text so that it reads from bottom to top instead of top to bottom?

For artistic/paragraph text, I can just rotate it, but not for text in a table.

  • Best I can see is to rotate the whole table. Hmmm...tis quite perplexing
    • Try highlghting your text with the text cursor and then mess around with Ctrl+. and Ctrl+, - I got it work.

      Ctrl Plus Period & Ctrl Plus Comma

      • Hi Chris,

        Ctrl+comma doesn't work. No effect. It seems to be a shortcut for horizontal text. 

        Ctrl+period will change it to the default top down vertical text. It seems to be a shortcut for vertical text. 

        I wonder why it works for you.

        • If you want to be clever :-} you could rotate the table 90deg format it how you like and then use the Ctrl+. trick

          Have a good weekend Michael
          • Hi Chris,

            As there are more horizontal text than vertical text, it's easier to just type the vertical text as artistic text and place it accordingly instead of as text in cell.
