Hi there, I would like to set up the header row in a 4 column table such that the last 3 columns have the text in a vertical orientation. I know it can be done manually by selecting the three cells and then "Format/Text Direction". But can it be done by applying a Formatting Style? When I modify the style (I call it "Cell Vertical"), there are many formatting options available, but no option to change the text direction. Thanks for your help.

As far as I know, text direction is a property of the cell or textbox, not of the paragraph.
Hi Mark, In general, text rotation direction is a container property. You can define the text rotation direction of a table cell, text box/shape or a Word document section and its content. Text input direction, rather than rotation (i.e. Left-to-Right or Right-to-rand Left) can be part of a formatting style. ============= <<"mark_on_web" wrote in message news:EDECF2D5-7BCA-4DCD-9CD5-6D12B47826C0@microsoft.com...
