FLIP A LETTER

[AC]

HOW DO I FLIP A LETTER, I WANT TO PUT A SIGN IN MY BOUTIQUE'S WINDOW
S A L E BUT WHEN I PRINTED IN ORDER TO MAKE SENSE I WILL HAVE TO PLACE FROM
LEFT TO RIGHT. HOW DO I FLIP THE LETTERS BACKWARDS. DO I MAKE SENSE?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I'm not sure I understand. If you are putting the sign inside the window to
be read from outside, wouldn't you print it in the usual way? And isn't
left-to-right the usual way?

In any case, Word has no built-in way to flip text. Your printer may have
such a setting (look in the printer Properties for a check box labeled "Flip
horizontal," "Mirror image," or "T-shirt transfer"). Or you can copy text,
paste it as a picture, and then flip; see
http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm.

As Suzanne questions, I see no reason why you should have to "flip" anything
other than for dramatic/artistic effect, but regardless of whether it's
necessary or not you might also want to consider using WordArt - which *can*
be flipped Horizontally or Vertically or both... And if you have access to
MS Publisher it would be a better choice than Word for making a sign.
