I'm using LibreOffice 3.4.4 on Kubuntu 11.04. I need to either
create a vertical table or rotate an existing table. In table
properties I noticed the "Text direction" option on the "Text Flow"
tab. If I set it to "Right-to-left (vertical)", it gets close to
what I need but the top of the font is to the right and I need it to
be to the left. I can't seem to find any option to rotate an
existing table. Any ideas?
Rotating the text has already been described. But if your table can
fit a complete page or pages, there is an alternative: interpolating
landscape pages in a portrait document.
o In the table, go to Table | Table Properties... | Text Flow | Text
Flow (or right-click | Table... | Text Flow | Text Flow).
o Tick Break and select Page and Before.
o Tick With Page Style, and select Landscape (or your own landscape
page style) from the drop-down list.
o After the table, go to Insert | Manual Break..., select "Page
break", and then select Default (or your own portrait page style)
from the drop-down list.
When you print the document, you will get what you require.
The only problem is that any headers and footers will appear at the
top and bottom of the landscape page, which are the sides of the page
as rotated into a portrait document, and this is probably not what
you would want. But it's easy to suppress headers and footers for
that page, of course, which may suffice.
I trust this helps.
