Using the Text Direction Selector

You can change the direction of text in the selected cell(s) using the Text Direction command. The text directions are: left-to-right, top-to-bottom, or bottom-to-top. The three Cell Allignment commands are used to place the text at the top, center, or bottom of the cell when the left-to-right direction is applied, or left, center, or right sides of the cell when the top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top directions are applied.

Text Directions

To Change the Text Direction in a Table Cell:

  1. Select the cells where you want to change the text direction.
  2. Choose Layout > Advanced > Text Direction. Continue to select the command to cycle through the direction options.

    Note: You may need to change the Cell Alignment commands to re-align the text within the cells, or adjust column width or row height.

  3. Save the changes.
