Default Rotating text

Yes, I did suss this out. I created the tables, set the page to landscape and
turned each table in opposite directions. Thanks.

The only way to do this in Word without pasting some of the text as a
picture (or using WordArt) is to use a table. If I'm reading you right,
you'd use a landscape page with a single row, two column table, and rotate
the text in the two cells in opposite directions.

I am creating a mailer for a non profit organization. I am splitting an 8
1/2
X 11 sheet: on one half, I will have the logo, "place stamp here" box and
mailing address, the other half will have the mission statement. I want to
rotate the mission statement text 180 degrees so the text and graphics on
the
sheet both point downward when the page is folded in half. I tried placing
the text in a box, and rotating the box, but only the box rotated (the
text
did not).

What steps have to be performed to rotate text 180? Do I have to change
the
page size first?
