Vertical Text Direction

Question

I have been trying text to go in a vertical direction like we can do in ms-word tables but so far I have only been able to do THIS... which I am not happy with because it's a box rotated... Isn't there a way to have actual vertical direction text?

I only set the rotation to 305 degrees in the demo which doesn't make the text vertical. 270deg will but I only made the demo to show rotation.
