Word: Text orientation issue

[cumm0020]

I'm using Word 2004 for Mac and I'm trying to change the orientation of
my text in a text box. Word provides 3 options under the format>text
direction tab but I need to know how I can essentially flip a standard
oriented text box vertically so the text would appear up side down but
still running horizontally. Any options forn making this work?

You can't do it in Word, but you *can* do it in PowerPoint, and then
copy/paste into Word. Hope that helps.

Actually, even PPt won't give you a true FLIP... The Flip Horizontal does
nothing & Flip Vertical is the equivalent of a 180° rotation - rendering the
characters right to left. If you're looking to have the inverted characters
directly below their upright counterparts - left to right - you need to use
a true graphics app. (There I go again )

The only thing I've found that will do a true flip in Word *or* PPt is a
WordArt Object.
