How to change a table direction in Microsoft Word?

I am translating an English document into a right to left language. There is a table as follows:

I want a similar table in the target document and I'd like not to draw this manually again, but the problem with copying this is that it is left-to-right, as the small plus at the top-left corner shows. This consistent direction allows convenient tabbing between cells. But, for my target right-to-left language, this convenience is not obtained by simply copying the table as it does not allow tabbing between cells from right to left.
How can I change the direction of the table so that the top-left plus sign is shown at top-right corner of the table?

Solution 1:

Click on the top-left plus, thus selecting the table. Now, right-click on the table and click Table Properties.
Under Table direction, select Right-to-left:

Click OK.

Now the direction is right-to-left and tabbing right-to-left between cells is possible.
