Hiya,

Please can anyone help by letting me know if it's possible to reverse text? Or do I need to be checking my printer settings for the mirror option when printing?

Thanks

    If you want to reverse the entire content of a document (for a T-shirt transfer, for example), then yes, you should be using the option available in your printer, which may be called "Mirror image," "Flip horizontal," or even "T-shirt transfer." But if you just want to reverse a small amount of text, you can do it with 3-D Rotation:

    1. The text must be in a text box (you can remove the text box border).
    2. Select the text box to display the contextual Drawing Tools | Format tab.
    3. In the Shape Styles group, click Shape Effects and choose 3-D Rotation, then 3-D Rotation Options.
    4. In the Format Shape pane, set X rotation to 180°.

    The reversed text doesn't display well but will print okay.
