Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66086
Text in tables can only run from right-to-left in vertical mode

The description was made based on the German OpenOffice.org Version. So I hope that my translations of the menus are correct. In a table: 1. right-click on a cell and select "table" 2. In the text-flow register select "textdirection" 3. It is only possible to select "left-to-right" and "right-to-left (vertically)" 4. It is much more common to have an option "left-to-right (vertically)". If you imagine to print that table and you put in in a folder. It would be much more intuitive to turn the sheet that way.
Known limitation, see issue 25140. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 25140 ***
