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).
Hmm - this is strange - I don't need to rotate the text as well - just
selecting right-to-left (vertical) for the frame rotates the text for me.
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.
I don't have any of these problems. If I resize the "width" of a
"column" (feels funny to call it that when you are actually moving the
line up and down the page), the "height" adjusts automatically and the
text just flows.
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.)
Can't help on that one, I'm afraid.
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.
Sorry - since I can't reproduce the problem, it's hard to work out how
to solve it. Not much help to you really!

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.
