Question

I am working right now in producing word documents in java and i am using XWPFDocument of POI Apache. The final document must looks like this

till no everything works fine, I created table, managed to merge cells but i can not find a way to change the text orientation in table cells. I simply want "Type 1" to be upward. I only found a solution using cellStyle which seems to work only in excel and not in word, which i am using.

Answer 1

You probably need to create two documents in Word, one with the normal orientation and one with the changed one, then unzip them (.docx is actually a Zip-File) and analyze which xml-structure is responsible for this.

Then you can check if POI already offers higher level APIs for these or if you need to access the low-level POI classes via the getCTxxx() methods, eg XWPFTableCell.getCTTc() returns the underlying XML structure and allows you to do things that are not possible via the normal POI interfaces.

Answer 2

You can use something like: cell.getCTTc().getTcPr().addNewTextDirection().setVal(STTextDirection.BT_LR) , where the parameters are found in: STTextDirection .

The problem I couldn't solve yet is that the row height does not update automatically to the vertical text length, then the text is not completely showed. If you solve it, please, post here.
