Description: The attached DOCX file has two 3x3 tables showcasing different combinations of alignments and text rotations. Most of them are interpreted well in the latest LibreOffice master, but the 90 degree rotated text in the second row of the first table is always centered horizontally, instead of the original left – centered – right alignment. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert a 3x3 table in Microsoft Word. 2. Rotate the text by 90 degrees: text direction should go from bottom to top. 3. Align the text in all possible 9 directions (Horizontal: left, center, right; Vertical: top, center, bottom). 4. Save the file as DOCX. 5. Open the file in LibreOffice Writer and see the results. Alternatively, you can use the attached DOCX file (text_align_table.docx). Actual Results: The rotated text in the second row of the first table is horizontally centered in all three columns in LO Writer. Expected Results: The horizontal alignment of the rotated text in the second row of the first table should be the same in both MS Word and LO Writer. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: LibreOffice details: Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 2f83055cdbd915d5036a7b4374b4ad10e6efc65f CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.3; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded

--- Comment #3 from Gabor Kelemen <kelemeng at ubuntu.com> --- @Miklos, you might be interested in this. There was a lot of improvement in this area since 6.2, only a bit more would be needed for perfection :).
