Created attachment 57179 [details] The screenshot contains the document both as viewed in Office 2007 and Libreoffice 3.5.0 writer. I have a legal document that someone sent me. It has a copyright text on both sides of all pages aligned as vertical text. The text is not rotated, just the letters are aligned vertically taking one row per letter. I didn't come to know this until I saw the document in windows on Microsoft Office. I am using Libreoffice and it showed the text as a floating text area aligned horizontally (See the Screenshots).
The same bug persists in all subsequent releases.. Kindly let me know if there is something I can do perhaps to help debug this aberration.
Thanks for bugreport Please, attach document that demonstrates this problem (in msOffice save original document under another name, then delete all pages except that shown on screenshot)
I found a document having a very similar text at http://cnnetc.googlecode.com/files/RESPONSE%20TO%20IMPROPER%20BILLING%20AFTER%20PAYMENT.doc but it is working on my LibreOffice 3.5.3 installation. Please check which version you are using and provide the exact document (or at least the first page with obfuscated text) of the document that is causing the trouble.
the document in previous comment has wrong display (as in bug desc.) with LibO 3.6.3.0 Linux x86 (text is rotated 90° counterclock)
Created attachment 68240 [details] document from comment 3
Created attachment 68241 [details] The same document, saved as PDF using msWord 2007
When open attached doc in Writer, appears extra vertical text on left. Reproduced in 3.3.4, 3.5.5, 3.6.2 on Fedora 64 bit IMHO it is because doc has frame placed outside of page Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproduced
I am not sure what that mean, but if you want I can attach the document. I will erase the contents and you can see why it happens.

Created attachment 135738 [details] document from comment 3 minimized and text seen Since reported didn't attach a requested file, I obsoleted that discussion and this bug is about attachment from Comment 5. This "Copyright..." is in 4 places, very strange: - white on white but regular text in header, opens in LO - text box upper right corner, 0,32 cm x 0,42 cm - text box up down 0,32 cm x 0,21 cm - text box left in front of text, height 23,18 cm and width 0,21 cm, -2,72 cm right to Column and -0,63 cm below Paragraph, that's open as frame in LO height 23,18 cm and width 0,21 cm, -2,54 cm to Paragraph and -0,63 cm to Margin Title "Vertical Text by the side of pages all wrong." is not clear so I rename to "Fileopen: large text from small DOC text box, that is partially or not seen in Word, shown all in Writer".

Created attachment 153401 [details] RESPONSE TO IMPROPER BILLING AFTER PAYMENT2.doc: highlighting areas noted in comment 13 where the copyright message exists This seems to be an inherit difference with how LO handles draw shapes. If the text does not fit inside of the shape, it just spills out all over the place - which is what we see with the rotated text on the left. The text in the extreme top and bottom right is imported as a frame - where the text does not spill out.
Because the text direction is bottom to top (nPropVal == mso_txflBtoT), //Writer can now handle vertical textflows in its //native frames //Writer will handle all textflow except BtoT so we cannot do aInfo.bReplaceByFly = true; Therefore, it does not try to ConvertDrawTextToFly, but instead it MungeTextIntoDrawBox.
UI Bottom to Top support was recently added to LO 6.3 with commit 52e47276694575f119192f6ddafa69ec7a7eb6b4 Author: Miklos Vajna Date: Thu May 16 22:07:03 2019 +0200 sw btlr writing mode: implement UI for fly frames
btlr is Miklos' favourite project right now. I'm very happy to leave this for him to work on.
