Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 44418
exporting vertical text in a table results in horizontal text in MS word doc
Last modified: 2005-03-10 13:05:50 UTC
Saving to MS word (.doc 97/2000/XP) results in vertical text in a table being converted to horizontal text. Two examples are given in attached file, one is imported from a MS word document (see bug 44471 about malalignment), the other is created in OOo. Both export incorrectly
Created attachment 23499 [details] MS word .doc, OOo .odt, exported MS Word.doc with vertical text in tables
Sorry malaligned bug is bug 44417
Vertical text of 90 degrees in table like in MS Word is not supported in Writer. Writer can only rotate in character format - which Word isn't able to. Thus, due to these incompatibilities between the two products, vertical text in Writer's tables must be implemented. See issue 25140. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 25140 ***
