Hello, Cheryll:

1. Place your cursor in the top cell of the column that needs to be selected.

2. Press ALT + A, to open the table menue, and then arrow down to select and 
press enter.

3. You will be placed in a list of options for what needs to be selected. For 
example, it will say table, row, column, etc. Choose what you would like to 
select, in my case it was the column.

4. With the column selected press ALT + A one more time to ope nthe table menue 
and then M for merge cells. This will merge all the cells in the selected 
column into one cell.

5. Enter the text into the merged cell.

6. Repeat the steps to select the merged cell and then press ALT + O to open 
the format menu. 

7. You can then arrow down the list until you find TEXT DIRECTION and press 
enter. This will return you to your document and the direction of the text in 
the cell is switched.

I hope this helps.

Alicia
