WD2000: "Change Text Direction" Button Shows Incorrect Direction (211898)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q211898 SYMPTOMS
When you change the text direction in a text box or table cell, the Change
Text Direction button shows the text direction incorrectly.
CAUSE
The purpose of the button face is to show the position of the text after
you click the button. This functionality is by design in Word.
MORE INFORMATION
In Word, you can rotate text in a text box or table cell without having to
use WordArt (as you did in previous versions of Word).
On the Tables and Borders toolbar and the Text Box toolbar, Word
provides a Change Text Direction button. The purpose of this button is to
rotate the text into one of three predefined directions. The button
reflects the next direction of the text if you were to click the button
again.
NOTE: The Change Text Direction button does not indicate the current
direction of text, nor can you add a different text direction for use with
the Change Text Direction button.
