Yes. I took a copy of an existing table. I did select "Right-to-left (vertical)" and also rotated the text 270 degrees (I had to do both before it looked somewhat reasonable). But things work very strangely. I was able with a lot of effort to get the table so that it looks OK. I had to do a lot of manual adjustment (row heights and column widths did not translate as you would expect - several columns that were on the right seemed to disappear but after adjusting the table width they reappeared). The only thing it won't do is flow text from one line to the next. For example, I have to have the columns (now running horizontally) very wide - otherwise the text is cut off - it won't flow to the next line down. The other major problem is the orientation of the table. I need it to be left-to-right vertical but that is not an option. (Wouldn't left-to-right vertical be more natural? I want the left hand side to start at the bottom and then the first row be on the left and the last row on the right. Although I notice that book titles along the spine are oriented right-to-left vertical.) Any thoughts on fixing the text flow to the next line? Most of my tables have titles that need to occupy several lines within the cell. I tried also pasting the frame with table into Draw. I was amazed that this even worked BUT it won't let you rotate the frame (as it will with a figure although I haven't tried a frame with a pictue). Thanks.
