Hi.

Is what you want convert to "縦組み(tate-gumi)" text frame?

text frame can convert like this code

var textframe_obj;
textframe_obj.parentStory.storyPreferences.storyOrientation = StoryHorizontalOrVertical.VERTICAL;

var cell_obj;
cell_obj.writingDirection = HorizontalOrVertical.VERTICAL;

I posted blog-entry about this:
