  Hi there,

  I am using a table(from toolbox) in my report. I want to show the column header vertically instead of horizontally. Is that possible?

  for example,

  if layout is like:

  col#1 | col#2 | col#3

  ----------------------

  val#1 | val#2 | val#3

  I want to align col#1,#2 & #3 vertically, val#1,#2,#3 should stay horizontal.

  Reason being, this would help in saving page space as col#'s have lengthy descriptions.

  Thanks

  P.S. If its not possible but it can be achieved using TextBox, I can go for textboxes.

  I don't think you can do it. At least I can't see any property for text direction or text orientation. Sorry I couldn't help.

  I also went thru properties... no such option.

  🙁

  thanks for your time

  Just a wild guess.. Can we use Properties>TextAlign>Expressions. though there isn't any in-built function available

  { direction: RTL

  writingmode : tb-rl } does the trick
