Word flip upside down text

I need to have merge data upside down. Anyone know of a work around? I've
found all sorts of stuff that allows me to insert text as a graphic. Thanks.

Are you meaning that the non-field text is normal and the merge fields
are rotated 180 degrees so as to be read if the page is upside down? And
you want to do it without resorting to images or clip art? Are you
planning on printing this?

Good. What you will need to do is run it through the printer twice using
two separate documents which will become obvious. Once forward for the
regular text with blank spots (Document #1) for the upside down text,
then rotate the paper 180 degrees and run it through with the merge
data(Document #2). In Document #2, you will need to relocate the merge
fields on the page to coincide with the blank spots you left open in
Document #1.

LOL. I was trying to avoid that but it looks like i may not have a choice.
Also wondering about converting the document to a piece of art, flip it over
and then put the text box over that. Thanks.

You could use a site like <a href="http://www.upsidedowntext.com/">Flip Text Site</a> to flip your text upside down and then merge it back into word. That would avoid the whole graphics thing that people are talking about.

Yep, if you are willing to go "graphic", that will work.
