Can't change text direction in a table

Hi all
I was making a table in pages but were not able to alter text direction within a cell, any help

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
As Yvan says, rotation of text in a table cell is not a supported feature in Pages. You can achieve the same visual effect, though, using a Text box to hold the text.
Insert a Text box.
Enter and format the text.
Use the Wrap inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
Use the Metrics inspector to Rotate the box and contents 90°.
Drag the box into position in front of the (empty) cell.
Optional, but encouraged:
Choose "Provide Pages Feedback" from the Pages menu.
Send feedback to Apple requesting this feature be added.
Wait for Pages '10 and check for the feature there.
Regards,
Barry

  • Can't change typing direction using ctrl+shift in Gmail

    Using firefox 6, in Gmail, I can't change text direction while typing using Ctrl+shift combination. The direction arrows in the email editor are working, just the keyboard shortcut don't.
    Needles to say it works in other browsers.

    shift+ctrl+x not working either in Gmail.
    (In facebook ctrl+shift+x is working)

  • Changing text direction for Hebrew lines within a document.

    We are new to Creative Cloud.  We need to be able to chnage text direction within an In Design document.  We looked up how to do it, and while the directions were clear (clicking on change character direction from the character options menu), our character options menu does not include changing text direction as one of the options.  We just joined the creative cloud a few weeks ago and have the most updated version; what do we need to do?

    Do you have the CC Desktop Appliction installed (It's sort of a command central for CC)? If not, get it at https://creative.adobe.com/
    The icon should be near the top right corner.

  • How can I change the OWNER of a table?

    How can I change the OWNER of a table entr2009mm ?
    Resp. the OWNER of all TABLES whose tablename match the pattern *2009* ?
    Peter

    Hello,
    There're different posiibilities, Export/Import can do it.
    But, if it's not a too large Table, you can use CTAS (from a user with DBA privilege for instance).
    Create Table <schema_target>.<table_name> as select * from <shema_source>.<table_name>;Then, you have to recreate the dependent objects (Index, ...) and drop the Source Table.
    If you have a set of Tables, it's better to use Export/Import.
    Hope this help.
    Best regards,

    Modifying the properties of a control in a subVI do not modify the properties of a different control in the main VI. The data is the only thing passed back from the subVI. To modify the properties of the table in the main, you need to pass a reference to it to the subVI and modify it's properties. I've attached a modified llb that does what you want.

  • In Pages:  How to change text direction in cell?

    in Pages, I'd like to change the direction of the text in a table I'm creating. 
    In the first column (one long column -- I've merged the cells) the work is reading left to right.  How do I make it read up and down?
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's what I found: 
    Insert a text box from the INSERT menu.... it's also available at the FORMAT menu, but I chose Insert. 
    Don't drag yet!
    place cursor and type your text.
    Then, click on the METRICS menu in the Inspector pane
    Rotate.  Getting exactly to 90 degrees was difficult.  Maybe because I called it 90% at first!
    Now you can drag.
    It might look better to spread out the letter spacing in the text you have entered.  Do that from the "text" tab in the Inspector pane.
    if you double click, or even click too much, the text box will jump back into a horizontal position -- Dont' worry, it's trying to let you edit. 
    just go back to "Metric" and change it back to 90 degrees.
    Thanks Barry for answering this 3 years ago, and getting me started!

    I have created an ALV table in WebDynpro ABAP. I have created a context node and added the required attributes there - for the ALV display.
    Now I want to change one columnn name of the ALV table.... Currently it is showing the description of the data element, which I don't want to show. I cannot create a new DE only for this purpose.

  • Vertical text direction / orientation in tables. (RoboHelp 7 and/or 8)

    Hello all,
    I need to squeeze a fairly full table (lots of columns) into a printable page width.
    In order to do this, I need to put text into some of the cells so that they read vertically. I can do this in MS Word tables (menu > Format > Text Direction) and need an equivalent in RH. Preferably RH7, (but can import into RH8 if I must ).
    Any ideas anyone?

    Hi Philip
    My guess is that you can probably fudge it using CSS. But it won't be something RoboHelp will assist with in any way.
    Check the link below for one hit I found. Use Google searching for vertical text in HTML to find others.

  • Can't change text once I've finalized it!

    I've been using Photoshop for years, so I know all the basics.  And I've never run into this before.  I created a document with text boxes and images.  Everything was fine to that point.  But when I went back to re-word the text boxes and change text color, I could not do it.  I tried everything:  be sure that layer is selected, be sure I have the type tool enabled, and click somewhere in the existing text.
    Nothing doing.  No matter what I did, it insisted on starting a new text layer.  I could not access the text itself to change it.
    I could transform it or move it but it will not let me change the text itself or the text color.
    I'm using the PS cloud version and running Windows 7.
    I ran into this a few weeks ago, and rebooting my computer solved the problem -- or so I thought.  Apparently it didn't solve it permanently.
    Help, please!  This was due yesterday and my client is understandably not amused.
    Thanks.

    Now I can change text in any text box except the one titled "spinetext", which is highlighted in the layers panel.  Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but I've designed a lot of these covers, and never had trouble changing the spine text before.
    I finally had to recreate that layer in a new document and import it into this one -- but the text remains unchangeable in this layer.
    (For what it's worth, "Layer 1" is the template, which I turn off when I have inserted all the elements, so it has nothing to do with this layer.)
    Thanks for your help!
