--- Comment #2 from Ming Hua <[email protected]> ---
I don't know much about MS Word specifications, but I want to chime in that for
East Asian vertical text users (currently AFAIK only Japan and Taiwan use it in
regular daily life), Han characters (Kanji) and Japanese Hiragana/Katakanas are
supposed to be shown upright.  That is, we prefer the way LO display it, and
would consider Word 2010 "wrong".

Of course, the example document is constructed in a rather strange way, it is
essentially eight lines (rows for horizontal text, "columns" for vertical text)
with one character in each line.  I'm not sure how a regular multiple-character
line text would display in a similar setup.

I'm from mainland China, and don't use vertical text much, either in LO or with
MS format.  But I would urge any developer working on this to consult with East
Asian community/users first, before deciding we want to emulate MS Word's
behavior.
