Hi

In previous versions (OOo 3.2.1) it was possible to set a frame for a vertical orientation: Right-to-left (vertical). See TableauVertical.odt attached.

I do not know from which version of LibreOffice that is no longer available.

This is no longer offered in the interface but still availabe by the API. See ToVertical.odt that launches the macro:

Sub ToVertical
if thiscomponent.currentselection.supportsService("com.sun.star.text.TextFrame") then
	thiscomponent.currentselection.WritingMode = com.sun.star.text.WritingMode2.TB_RL
else	
	msgbox "select the frame please"	
end if	
End Sub

The option was removed by Caolan. I'm not sure if it was intentional, or not.

unintentional, perhaps misled by the similarity of the strings or something
