How do I rotate text 180 degrees, so it's completely upside down?
I have a similar situation, and a text box or a table just won't do enough.
I have a mass-mailing with a fold-out mailer that comes to a point on one end (like the flap of an envelope). I can't tell my printers to feel backwards. I need to print the addresses from a merge file rotated 180 degrees. What can I do? TIA |

Word really is not equipped to do anything of this nature. For a one-off
document you may be able to force something but for merge purposes I think you'd be asking the impossible. You'd do best to consider using MS Publisher or other page layout program that supports mail merge *and* something other than in-line text.

You could try using a unicode converting website that gives you the unicode equivalent of text that makes the text look upside down (aka flipped 180 degrees). One such site is 'flip text' (http://www.upsidedowntext.com/) but a google search will yield many more sites too.... in general these sites work better for lowercase letters but give it a try and see if this works for you. -- bjan3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bjan3's Profile: 1552 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...d.php?t=183207 Microsoft Office Help |
