Text Rotation
I use a shape box. Go to Insert, Shapes, then select a square. Type your
text. Now go to the Text Box Tools tab and click Format (if it is not already showing). From here you will be able to remove the Shape Outline/Fill and will be able to rotate it 180 degrees.

Text Rotation
Although you can rotate the shape by 180 degrees (or any amount, if
you use the Rotate More Rotation Options button), the text inside the shape never rotates at all. The only function that affects the text is the Text Direction button in the Text group of the Text Box Tools ribbon, and that allows only the 90 degree rotations left and right.

Text Rotation
Word doesn't have any provision for 180 degree rotation of text.
A workaround -- if it works for you -- is to set the orientation of the page (or whole document) to Landscape, insert a table, and then rotate some of the cells 90 degrees clockwise and the rest of them 90 degrees counterclockwise. The rotated text can contain merge fields. Everything else we know about text rotation in Word is at http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
