ON THE WRONG SIDE. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

Stop SHOUTING at us! One way to solve your problem would be to demolish the
house and completely rebuild it, making sure that you build the garage on
the opposite side, and then take another photo. An alternative method, which
would probably involve less work, would be to first set your view so that
the page (and / or the picture) is quite small and then click the picture to
select it and hover the mouse over the "middle handle" on the right side of
the picture until it turns into a "left to right double headed arrow". Then
hold the left mouse button down while dragging the pointer across the full
width of the picture and over the left hand side. This will "flip" the
picture.

Isn't this kinda missing the point? I know it works, but the OP is
saying that his picture is flipped BY Publisher (I think). I've seen
Publisher do this before - a graphic will suddenly turn into a mirror
image of itself and there's no apparent reason for it.

It was a problem in older Publisher versions, .eps images would be flipped on
the screen but would print okay. It had to do with a .bmp header. Could be the
poster has his printer setup for a mirror image.

Good point, I was thinking this, too.

I've never notice this happening, but would be good to know why.
