In the bottom left cell (which is, of course the top left cell when
it is rotated for viewing), I wanted to place a series of lines
(i.e. paragraphs) with translations of the key elements in the

there doesn't seem to be any way of accomplishing this in Writer.
The key here is that there are multiple paragraphs in the cell. If I
use character styles, all of the lines/paragraphs are run together
and, actually are placed in the opposite order. No amount of
fiddling seems to cure this.
Since I can't believe that Word can do this easily but Libre
apparently can't do it at all, I suspect I'm just looking in all the
wrong places, so can anyone tell me how to accomplish this?
o Go to View | Toolbars > | Drawing.
o Click Text ("T") in the Drawing toolbar and drag a text object in
your table cell. You may need to anchor it As Character to keep it
in the cell.
o Insert your text.
o Right-click the text object and select Position and Size... |
Rotation | Rotation angle.
o Set Angle to 90 degrees.
I trust this helps.
