o Go to View | Toolbars > | Drawing.
o Click Text ("T") in the Drawing toolbar and drag a text object in 
your table cell.  You may need to anchor it As Character to keep it 
in the cell.
o Insert your text.
o Right-click the text object and select Position and Size... | 
Rotation | Rotation angle.
o Set Angle to 90 degrees.

I trust this helps.
