No, it isn't... the superordinate object of a cell is the page, or the sheet if
you will. Sheet/Page direction is effected (or perhaps I should say should be
effected by:

1. Toggling Sheet > Right-to-Left on the menu
2. Setting the Page text direction in the Page Style.

This is just like in Writer, if your paragraph uses superordinate object
direction, you can make it switch direction via Format | Page Style or by
setting the text direction in the page style in effect.

> Asking to bind the text direction to the sheet direction makes not much sense to me.

It is actually already bound to sheet/page direction: If I edit the page style
and change the direction, the cell direction changes. It just doesn't work when
I do it via toggling Sheet > Right-to-Left.
