Created attachment 128507 [details] Test with Manchu This is my textcase. All the texts were copied from the following page: http://abkai.net/core/en/read-me-first/test-troubleshooting/ You can try to get the font from here, which is specifically designed for Manchu and Xibo: http://abkai.net/core/en/manchu/manchu-fonts/

And if you use a Text Frame rather than a Text Box Draw object? Insert -> Frame -> Frame Interactively Manipulation of text in Draw objects is much more limited than handling in Frames.

Additionaly, I cannot find the way to use this direction into the table when I get attachment 127027 [details].
Oh yeah, I can use it via inserting table within a frame.

Would you say bug 68471 is about this limitation or is there some other report? Could this report by Volga be closed?
(In reply to Buovjaga from comment #7) > Could this report by Volga be closed? No. I have found Microsoft Word 2010 is allowing text box switch to this text direction. This can be done by a single button “Text Direction”. http://www.mgzwz.com/post-384.html I suggest LibreOffice merging “Text direction from left to right” and “Text direction from top to bottom” into single button and adding more options into there.

I have tested on LibO 5.3.0.2, text box cannot use this direction even if I set left-to-right (vertical) at the whole page. 1. Open Writer 2. Format -> Page -> Page tab -> Text direction: Left-to-right (vertical) 3. Insert -> Text box & input texts in there 4. Format -> Paragraph -> alignment -> Text direction -> Use superordinate object settings Then texts in the text box still horizontal.

(In reply to Volga from comment #6) > Oh yeah, I can use it via inserting table within a frame. Although I can use this direction within a frame, this is works only in Writer, Calc and Impress does not allow such frame, so I suggest we should making it works with text box and table.

Table support for text direction has now been added: https://vmiklos.hu/blog/hackweek-2019.html starting with these commits https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=8fdbda18b593e7014e44a0fd590bbf98d83258b7 Text Boxes still need work. After https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ff17478e069c we now import bottom to top text in DOCX format. But we should be able to edit this setting and create shapes with this in native ODF documents. The setting should be in Format->Text Box and Shape ->Text Attributes->Text Options: Horizontal, Vertical(top to bottom), Vertical(bottom to top)
