Hello David,
Take a look at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/UpsideDownText.htm (an
article by Dave Rado and Susan Barnhill).
The most relevant bit is:
Unfortunately, unlike PowerPoint, Word does not allow you to rotate or flip
text. Even if you create a text box, rotate or flip it in PowerPoint and
paste it into Word as an "MS Office Drawing Object", it comes into Word the
right way up -- thus proving that there's no such thing as an MS Office
Drawing Object; there are PowerPoint drawing objects, and there are Word
drawing objects. However, there are a number of workarounds for this.
And later on:
For most requirements, probably the simplest workaround is to create your
rotated or flipped text in PowerPoint text boxes, and paste them into Word
as pictures.
Cheers

* A suggestion: If you post a question, keep re-visiting the newsgroup for
several days after the first response comes in. Sometimes it takes a few
responses before the best or complete solution is proposed; sometimes you'll
be asked for further information so that a better answer can be provided.
Good tips about getting the best out of posting are at

* Before posting a question about a topic, search Google Groups
(
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search?q=group:*mac.office.word) --
it may have been comprehensively answered already.
* Please post all comments or follow-on questions to the newsgroup for the
benefit of others who may be interested. If you need to send an e-mail to me
directly (although that would be exceptional), remove the uppercase letters
from my address above. Please note that e-mails with an attachment will be
automatically rejected.
* If anyone is still reading down this far, here's a question: is it time
for you to back up your Normal template and all your Word settings files?
(This should be on a medium other than the internal hard drive and, if you
also want to protect against theft and fire, stored in a different
building.)
