A friend was having trouble with this in WPS Office and asked if LibreOffice could do better. He's printing some bridge table cards and he wants SOUTH upside down at the top, North rightside up at the bottom, and WEST and EAST "facing out" at the sides. That is, when each player sits at the table, he sees (rightside up) a directional name. Any ideas?

Yes: see my reply (copied below) to your identical enquiry nine days ago! You know it works, because I sent you a sample document at the time.

I want to create a document of a layout of a bridge table. It should have the words, "NORTH", "EAST", "SOUTH" and "WEST" on the four edges, each facing outward.

One way to do this is to use a text box:
o Go to View | Toolbars > | Drawing, to display the Drawing toolbar at the foot of the window.
o Click the Text icon ("T") and drag a rectangular box in the document.
o Enter and style the required text.
o Click the text box to select it - so that it shows the coloured border and the eight coloured handles. o Right-click the box and go to Position and Size... | Rotation | Rotation angle | Angle to set the orientation. o Copy and paste the result to form the other necessary boxes. Note that the copies will appear on top of the originals, so you will not see the result of the Paste until you drag them to a new position.

I trust this helps.
