Here comes to the steps of how to create vertical table in C#.

Step 1: Create a new document and add a section to the document.

Document document = new Document();
Section section=document.AddSection();

Step 2: Add a table with rows and columns and set the text for the table.

Table table = section.AddTable();
table.ResetCells(1, 1);
TableCell cell = table.Rows[0].Cells[0];
table.Rows[0].Height = 150;
cell.AddParagraph().AppendText("Draft copy in vertical style");

Step 3: Set the TextDirection for the table to RightToLeftRotated.

cell.CellFormat.TextDirection = TextDirection.RightToLeftRotated;

Step 4: Set the table format.

table.TableFormat.WrapTextAround = true;
table.TableFormat.Positioning.VertRelationTo = VerticalRelation.Page;
table.TableFormat.Positioning.HorizRelationTo = HorizontalRelation.Page;
table.TableFormat.Positioning.HorizPosition = section.PageSetup.PageSize.Width- table.Width;
table.TableFormat.Positioning.VertPosition = 200;

Step 5: Save the document to file.

document.SaveToFile("result.docx",FileFormat.docx2013);
