Description black665 2003-10-02 10:07:43 UTC 
Say you have a table, and in one cell, you want to have your text written 90°
rotated. Works fine as long as you save your file as an OO text document or pdf,
but does not work if you want to save it as a MS word 97/2000/XP (text goes back
to normal there).
Comment 1 utomo99 2003-10-06 08:09:33 UTC 
I can Reproduce the problem on 
OpenOffice 1.1 (default Install, US), Win XP Pro Sp1. 
(And MS Office XP Sp2). 
It is real problem

It is not yet supported by OOo yet, including opening the rotated text
which created by MS Office
Comment 2 mci 2003-10-08 12:46:12 UTC 
set target to OOo Later
reassigned to mru
Comment 3 mci 2003-10-08 15:40:45 UTC 
set target to OOo2.0
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2003-10-09 12:32:18 UTC 
MRU->AMA: rotated text in tables is not compatible to MS's one. In WW,
it is a table, respective a section attribute, thus interoperability
is not possible.
In deed, this is a favorite issue, since SO/OO supports WW import...
Comment 5 andreas.martens 2003-10-15 16:40:42 UTC 
For the OOo 2.0 we are planning a cell attribute "text direction". But
this will allow only three directions which we've for pages and for
frames as well: "horizontal left-to-right", "horizontal right-to-left"
and "vertical right-to-left". This is covered by our issue 20350.
The support of 90° and 270° rotated text is not planned yet.
So one part of this bug is duplicate to issue 20350 the other part
should be solved in a later version.

This is duplicate to 20350.
If you use character format "rotated text", you won't be able to store
this, because Ms Word format does not support it.
In OO Writer, rotated text as table property will be implemented for
interoperability. That's, what Word supports and Writer will do after
solving issue 20350.
