Someone had the same issue submit to mailing list a few months ago. It is 
better to submit an issue request here, in case someone else also need this 
feature.

I'm using openoffice 1.9.113 on Windows XP (English), and experimenting with 
the Mongolian and Manchu scripts which are vertical scripts, starting at the 
top, going from left to right. I've enabled CTL and Asian language support in 
order to get the option for vertical writing in the page style/page tab.
So (in Format/Page.../Page) three options appear at the Text direction option:
Left-to-right(horizontal)
Right-to-left(horizontal)
Right-to-left(vertical)
 
but we need the fourth option:
Left-to-right(vertical) 

On
http://l10n.openoffice.org/i18n_framework/Vertical_writing_in_Writer.html
the option is there, but not in my Openoffice :(

What do I have to do for the option to appear?

No. Curremtly there is no markets for this.
