Change the direction of text in a table

The feature described in this Help topic is only available if support for a right-to-left language, such as Arabic or Hebrew, is enabled through Microsoft Office Language Settings.

In addition, you must be running a Microsoft Windows operating system that has right-to-left support — for example, Microsoft Windows 2000.

  1. Place the insertion point in the table.
  2. On the Table menu, click Table Properties.
  3. Under Table direction, select the table direction you want.
