Change the direction of text in a table

Learn how to change the direction of text in an Adobe FrameMaker table.

By default, the text in a table inherits the direction (left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL)) of the current document. However, you can change the direction of each table in a document.

To change the direction of a table in Adobe FrameMaker, do the following:

  1. Click in the table.

  2. Choose Table > Format > Table Designer and go to the Direction tab.

  3. Choose the direction in the Direction drop-down list.

  4. To change the direction of the text in the selected table, click Apply.

    Alternatively, to change the direction of the text in all the tables of the current table format, choose Update Style.
