Hi :)
I have a feeling this is probably best done in Draw. I tend to use Writer
far too much for poster design and sometimes, later in the process, realise
that Draw would have been better. Sometimes it's worth copypasting
elements onto a fresh Draw document but mostly i just stay in Writer.
I know it's not part of LO, but Scribus is an excellent choice for this
sort of thing, and its also open source. It is a DTP package, not a
word processor, so you can't just start typing text, but it's not that
hard to get going. Just put text boxes anywhere where you want text,
and type into
You can make the text work for 90 and 270 degrees of rotation, but
upside down needs 180. So it will be be very hard to do it in Writer.
The drawing of text option in Writer may have that ability, buy I
rarely use that type of option.

Scribus is excellent.
It's part of the same eco-system as LibreOffice so it's not a million miles
off. Also i vaguely remember people saying that it could work with output
from LibreOffice. I'm not sure if you'd need to save in some funny
format. Hopefully ODF would be fine.

I want to create a document of a layout of a bridge table. It should
have the words, NORTH, EAST, SOUTH and WEST on the four edges,
each facing outward.
That is, when printed and placed in the center of a bridge table, each
player will have one such word facing him.
How do I do that?
Thanks.

One way to do this is to use a text box:
