Word Document- Flipping text upside down

Anonymous

I am working to make placecards using Avery Template 16109-placecard. I would like to be able to print on both side of the card and it be right-side up when folded and placed on a table. I have tried grabbing the whole text box (the top one of each of the 6 sets) and rotating it 180 this only rotates the box around the words, effectively changing nothing. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Seems like it should be simple enough. The only other answer I saw was to landscape it and set one to the left and one to the right and that just seemed like a lot of work.

    Hi ErieDC

    In Word, click Insert - Text Box

    Right click the Textbox and choose Formt Shape

    Set its fill and border to none or white, so you cannot see the outline of the Text box

    Type your Text into the Textbox

    Then press Shift and grab the top middle handle on that text box and rotate the textbox 180 degrees - pressing Shift will make the rotation exact . . .

    Avery produce a number of "Tent Card" labels that may be more suitable for that purpose, particularly the 5302 Small Tent Card.

    You can download a zip file with templates for those cards set up in the way required for the text to appear the right way up when the cards are folder from the following folder of my OneDrive
