To turn an object upside-down, click Flip Vertical. To create a mirror image of the object, click Flip Horizontal. If you don't see the Drawing Tools or Picture Tools Format tabs, make sure that you've selected a text box, shape, WordArt or picture.
This tool generates upside-down text (sıɥʇ ǝʞıן) that you can copy and paste into Facebook statuses, tweets, YouTube comments, and more. Flipping words upside-down is a fun trick you can use to make people laugh and see things from a new perspective. Upside-down text can be used to denote crazy ideas, silliness, or uniqueness 🙃. May 09, 2011 Just tell me how to type an upside down e. I use a Mac, but there is something similar for Windows. I very much doubt you can easily type it.
Here's a question we got from our reader, Matilda:
I have a bunch of formatted text letters and pictures created in my Word document which i want to mirror. I understand that there are several ways to do that. Could you explain how should i 'reverse' and then print my document text?
Thanks for the question. Microsoft Word allows you to easily rotate and flip text written in your document. In this tutorial we'll explain using text formatted with WordArt, however you can use the same technique in order to mirror, flip and rotate any text box as well. Many of the following steps work also on PowerPoint and can be helpful in case you want to flip pictures (stored in your computer or online images) to create more professional presentation slides.
Mirror and Reverse text in Word
We'll first going to go ahead and insert some WordArt text that we'll use in this post. Remember that you are able to insert any text box (by hitting Insert and then selecting Text Box), and photos (hit Insert and then select Pictures) and mirror them in the same way we outline below.
Go ahead and follow these steps:
- Open your Word 2016 document, in the upper ribbon, hit Insert and select your preferred Word Art formatting.
- Enter your text and hit on Format.
- Select Shape effects drop down box and in the 3-D Rotation, select 3-D Rotation options.
- In the X Rotation fix the value to 180° and other rotations as 0° to mirror the text.
- In the Y Rotation fix the value to 180° and other rotations as 0° to make the text mirrored and upside down.
- In the Z Rotation fix the value to 180° and other rotations as 0° to just make the text upside down.
Using VBA to flip text
You can use VBA macros in order to rotate text in Microsoft Word. Here's a simple beginner example to help you get started:
[code]
Sub RotateDoc()
Dim WorkDoc As Document
Dim MyShape As Shape
‘Create new Word document
Set WorkDoc = Documents.Add
‘Create new Word Text Box
Set MyShape = WorkDoc.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationUpward, 100, 100, 100, 100) Pitch correction software free download for mac.
‘Set Text Box text and flip orientation
With MyShape.TextFrame
.TextRange = 'This is the text i want to rotate'
.Orientation = msoTextOrientationDownward
End Sub
