The Text Direction button in the Alignment group on the Table Tools Layout tab cycles through three orientations: horizontal, vertical facing right, and vertical facing left. As you cycle through the orientations, the Text Direction button changes to display the current text orientation.

When the insertion point is in a cell with rotated text, the alignment, bullet, number, and indent buttons on the Home tab rotate as well to reflect the text orientation. In addition, the vertical alignment buttons in the Alignment group on the Layout tab also match the text orientation.
