Creating nametents in WORD
As a teacher I make nametents for my students at the beginning of the term.
This involves a single word document, landscape orientation and a large top margin. The result is a page that when printed can be folded lengthwise and stood up in fromt of the student. In order to have the name on BOTH sides of the tent (facing the front of the room as well as back to the student, I have to run it through the printer TWICE, rotating the page 180 degrees for the second pass. My question - is there a command or mirror function, or anything that would allow me to type in a student's name and it would come printed as I need to sinply fold into a name tent without having to print twice? Thank you. |

Creating nametents in WORD
Set this up as a portrait document instead of landscape. Create a
two-column, one-row table with row height set to the distance between the top and bottom margins.* Center the cell contents horizontally and vertically. Type the student's name in each cell, then use the Text Direction command to rotate one name clockwise and the other counterclockwise as appropriate. *Actually, you'll need to make it just a little less to allow for the text paragraph that will have to follow the table (you don't want it to create an extra blank page). So reduce the bottom margin by enough to accommodate that paragraph and make the row height the previous distance between margins. -- Suzanne S.
