1. One of the options you have is that used by ladies who "iron-on" transfers to t-shirts.
Prepare your piece, click on Print.
Under Properties, select Media type and then T-Shirt Transfers.
This prints the object flipped horizontally so that when ironed-on, it appears correctly.

2. Another option is to copy the target, Paste > Paste Special > Windows (Metafile). When you click on the pasted option, it has the resize handles and green rotation handle as for a graphic. Grab the rotation handle and swivel the target 180 degrees.

816297 2009-10-03 02:05:00 This sort of thing is usually done at the printer driver (as Scouse suggests) rather than in the document itself. What printer do you have - we might be able to give you specific instructions on what you'd need to do to flip the page. somebody (208)
816298 2009-10-03 04:29:00 Have a read of This article (www.ehow.com) forget about teh drawing tool bar in step one -- But when it gets to step 3, after selecting the word art, on the right look for Rotate As Shown here (www.imagef1.net.nz) then you can do what you want - Flipped text (www.imagef1.net.nz) and it prints exactly as you see it on the screen. wainuitech (129)

Tried to follow your instructions Speedy, but couldn't find the change shape option. Are you sure you're doing this on World 2007?

816300 2009-10-03 04:46:00 Yup I'm using Office 07. You have to select wordart first (before change shape appears). Change shape is on the right hand side (the column next to the different wordart selections (and next to shadow effects) Speedy Gonzales (78)
