I know there's a way to " flip " the words so they're upside down on the monitor, but will be right-side up when you fold the topper over the bag. How do I do this????

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 > > This is from the MS Word Help directory Yup, saw all that. It didn't help since I was trying to flip text, not an object or Word Art. I think I might have figured out what to do, but will have to try it later. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I have never been able to find a way to flip words totally upside down using Word. What I usually do is turn the entire page 90 degrees (from Portrait to Landscape) and then you can turn them so that they are facing left or right. But never totally upside down. Does that help any? If not, I can always upload one of my Word documents to the files section and you'll be able to see what I mean.

But never totally upside down. Thanks ! That's exactly what I was going to try to do. LOL! I still haven't had time to try it, but it's on my list of things to do this morning. Thanks a bunch!
