You can use this method to set the various ENUM alighments form apache poi liberary. STJc.Enum supports various kind of alignments.

public void setTableAlignment(XWPFTable table, STJc.Enum justification) {
    CTTblPr tblPr = table.getCTTbl().getTblPr();
    CTJc jc = (tblPr.isSetJc() ? tblPr.getJc() : tblPr.addNewJc());
    jc.setVal(justification);
}

The text direction settings are not implemented into XWPFTableCell until now. But using getCTTc we can get the underlaying CTTc object. And from this we can set addNewTcPr(), addNewTextDirection().

For using org.openxmlformats.schemas.spreadsheetml.x2006.main.CTTextDirection this example needs the full jar of all of the schemas ooxml-schemas-1.3.jar as mentioned in the FAQ-N10025.

Example:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFDocument;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFTable;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFTableCell;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFParagraph;
import org.apache.poi.xwpf.usermodel.XWPFRun;

import org.openxmlformats.schemas.wordprocessingml.x2006.main.STTextDirection;

public class CreateWordTableTextVertical {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

  XWPFDocument document = new XWPFDocument();

  XWPFParagraph paragraph = document.createParagraph();
  XWPFRun run = paragraph.createRun();  
  run.setText("The table:");

  XWPFTable table = document.createTable(1,3);
  for (int r = 0; r < 1; r++) {
   for (int c = 0 ; c < 3; c++) {
    XWPFTableCell tableCell = table.getRow(r).getCell(c);
    tableCell.getCTTc().addNewTcPr().addNewTextDirection().setVal(STTextDirection.BT_LR);
    paragraph = tableCell.getParagraphArray(0);
    run = paragraph.createRun();  
    run.setText("text");
   }
  }

  paragraph = document.createParagraph();

  document.write(new FileOutputStream("CreateWordTableTextVertical.docx"));
  document.close();

 }
}
