Change the text direction in WPF FlowDocument TableCell.

Question

I'm trying to create a simple table in a WPF FlowDocument that has rotated text in some of the cells. In Microsoft Word you can easily change the text direction of a table cell but I haven't been able to find a way in a WPF FlowDocument.

Any idea on how to rotate the text 90 degrees or change the text direction. I've tried a few things but the text doesn't wrap and size as desired.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Look into using the BlockUIContainer and RotateTransform

Example:

<TableCell>
  <BlockUIContainer>
    <TextBlock Text="Hello World">
      <TextBlock.LayoutTransform>
        <RotateTransform Angle="90"></RotateTransform>
      </TextBlock.LayoutTransform>
    </TextBlock>
 </BlockUIContainer>
</TableCell>
