Default Is it possible to make Word text display in a mirror image?

I'm trying to assemble a homemade prompter and I'd like my Word text to
appear in a mirror image - is that possible without add-on software? I can
print a mirror image; can I display and manipulate it?

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply G & O - I actually stumbled upon a solution that worked
pretty well. I printed the Word doc to file as a .pdf after using the 'print'
function, selecting .pdf as the print-to selection, clicking on the
'properties' button, then 'layout,' and finally 'advanced.' From there,
'document options,' 'post script options,' and changing 'mirrored output' to
'yes.' It took some playing around with the font size, but it works! Thanks
again.
