Rotating text

[Robert Robinson]

I am creating a mailer for a non profit organization. I am splitting an 8 1/2
X 11 sheet: on one half, I will have the logo, "place stamp here" box and
mailing address, the other half will have the mission statement. I want to
rotate the mission statement text 180 degrees so the text and graphics on the
sheet both point downward when the page is folded in half. I tried placing
the text in a box, and rotating the box, but only the box rotated (the text
did not).

What steps have to be performed to rotate text 180? Do I have to change the
page size first?

The only way to do this in Word without pasting some of the text as a
picture (or using WordArt) is to use a table. If I'm reading you right,
you'd use a landscape page with a single row, two column table, and rotate
the text in the two cells in opposite directions.

Yes, I did suss this out. I created the tables, set the page to landscape and
turned each table in opposite directions. Thanks.

FWIW, this is the sort of thing Publisher is much better for.
