UPDATED Feb-07-2011 (added solution using REGEXREPLACE)

Writing in vertical orientation via a command or menu is not supported in Google Spreadsheet; one can however accomplish this using a formula.

So let us say we want to write vertically in cell A1 the text housed in cell E1

then formula in cell A1 ...

=ArrayFormula(concatenate(mid(E1,row(indirect("z1:z"&len(E1))),1)&char(10)))

or using REGEXREPLACE

=regexreplace(A1,".","$1"&char(10))

Now let us write vertically in cell A1 the text housed in cells C1 and D1

then formula in cell E1 is ... = C1&" "&D1

and formula in cell A1 ...

=ArrayFormula(concatenate(mid(E1,row(indirect("z1:z"&len(E1))),1)&char(10)))

or using REGEXREPLACE

=regexreplace(C1&" "&D1,"(.)","$1"&char(10))
