How can I rotate text 180 degrees in Word 2003?
That's because there is no such option. Infuriatingly. You could rotate the
text 90 degrees right, and rotate everything else 90 degrees left ... Of, if it's just a single page, do it in PowerPoint. "Carey in Germany" Carey in wrote in message ... How can I rotate text 180 degrees in Word 2003? I can do it 90 degrees right or left, but find no option for 180 degrees. |

Thanks for the answer. I was afraid of that. How can we get Microsoft to
change that? That is pretty frustrating. I spent several hours trying to find a solution. "Jezebel" wrote: That's because there is no such option. Infuriatingly.

That's because work like that is generally down with a desktop publishing
program, perhaps Publisher? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Carey in Germany" Carey in wrote in message ... How can I rotate text 180 degrees in Word 2003? I can do it 90 degrees right or left, but find no option for 180 degrees. |

You'd have to enter it backward, though.

How can I rotate text 180 degrees in Word 2003?
You haven't just opened a can of worms here -- you've built a whole damned
factory. How much kerning detail did you put into this font of yours? Do you want the spell-checker to work on it? Do the characters sit *under* the baseline? When you press enter at the end (start) of your line of upside-down text, do you want the cursor to move up or down? "OM" wrote in message ... Ah... now that's where you experts come in ! I'm sure you could write a subroutine that would change the order from L-R, to R-L. Something like 1. type the letter 2. backspace to before the letter just typed regards, Rob Lepper "Suzanne S.

... You haven't just opened a can of worms here -- you've built a whole damned factory. Sorry ...... How much kerning detail did you put into this font of yours? None .... sorry again.... might get around to it later. Just did it out of interest Do you want the spell-checker to work on it? Yes - the spell checker works ok with it now. Puts the correctly spelt word in upside down. Do the characters sit *under* the baseline? Look... it's just a simple Q&D (Quick and Dirty) effort at this stage..... maybe later. When you press enter at the end (start) of your line of upside-down text, do you want the cursor to move up or down? Ahhhh, now hadn't thought of this ! Maybe Enter to go down, and Shift+Enter to go up or something similar. Interesting problem though... if you choose this font after you've entered some normal text, where does the cursor go ? I guess it would have to go down.....mmmm..... more thought required here (you realise you've managed to get me to put off a uni assignment for at least a couple more days........)
