Hi guys... I've created an image that has a call-out auto shape on it, to
make the guy in the picture look as though he's saying something. I need to
print it on a t-shirt, which means it needs to print backwards. Do you know
how to do this? I can flip the call-out, but the letters don't turn around
backwards, so when the image prints... the words aren't showing up the proper
way. Any help appreciated.

=============================
You can reverse Word Art by dragging
the handle on one side of the text box
across and beyond the other side of
the box.

For regular text...if you search help for
"mirror image"...you'll find the following:

"If your design includes text in a text
box or table, turn it into a picture first,
and then flip it horizontally"

Publisher 2003 help returned this (at the top of the list, I might add):

Before you begin, you will need to get thermal t-shirt transfer paper for
the type of printer that you are using. The paper is available at office
supply stores.

1.. Create your design in Publisher.
2.. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
3.. Click the Layout tab.
4.. Under Publication type, click Full page.
5.. Click the Printer and Paper tab.
6.. Under Paper, in the Size box, select Letter.
7.. Click OK.
8.. Do one of the following:
a.. If your design is a picture, clip art, or WordArt, flip it
horizontally.
How?

1.. On the Arrange menu, point to Rotate or Flip.
2.. Click Flip Horizontal.
a.. If your design includes text in a text box or table, turn it into a
picture first, and then flip it horizontally.
How?

1.. Select the text in the text box or table in your design.
2.. On the Edit menu, click Cut.
3.. On the Objects toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that
you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the
Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.), click Insert WordArt .
4.. Under Select a WordArt style, click a style, and then click OK.
5.. Press CTRL+V to paste your text into the WordArt Text box.
6.. Format the text, and then click OK.
7.. If necessary, resize the WordArt, or use the WordArt toolbar to
format it, and place it in the design.
8.. Select all the objects in the design, including the WordArt.
9.. Click Group Objects .
10.. On the Arrange menu, point to Rotate or Flip, and then click Flip
Horizontal.
9.. Print your design on plain paper first to make sure it looks the way
you want it to.
10.. Make any adjustments to your design after seeing the test printout.
11.. Make sure thermal t-shirt transfer paper is in the printer.
12.. On the File menu, click Print.
13.. Select the options you want.
14.. Click OK.
The F1 key has never broken anything!

This is good to know for possible future use.

There's also a font that writes backwards letters (ASSBACKWARDS) but
I'm not sure how it would work as a mirror image.

Maybe that's what it's for?
