Print a mirror image (as for a t-shirt)
Before you begin, you'll need to get thermal t-shirt transfer paper for the type of printer that you are using . The paper is available at office supply stores .

Create your design in Publisher .
On the File menu, click Page Setup .
Click the Layout tab .
Under Publication type click Full page .
Click the Printer & Paper tab .
Under Paper in the Size box, select Letter .
Click OK .
Do one of the following:
If your design is a picture, clip art or WordArt, flip it horizontally .

How?
On the Arrange menu, point to Rotate or Flip .
Click Flip Horizontal .
If your design includes text in a text box or table, turn it into a picture first, then flip it horizontally .

How?
Select the text in the text box or table in your design .
On the Edit menu, click Cut .
Click WordArt .
Under Select a WordArt style, click a style, and then click OK .
Format the text, and then click OK .
If necessary, resize the WordArt, or use the WordArt toolbar to format it, and place it in the design .
Draw a selection box around the design, including the WordArt .
Click Group Objects .
On the Arrange menu, point to Rotate or Flip, and then click Flip Horizontal .
Print your design on plain paper first to make sure it looks the way you want it to .
On the File menu, click Print .
Make any adjustments to your design .
Make sure thermal t-shirt transfer paper is in the printer .
On the File menu, click Print .


That's for Publisher 2002 so hopefully it won't be too different for 2000 . ;-)
