Text Rotation
Anyone know how to rotate text 180° in PowerPoint 2007? The presets are 90°
and 270° but no 180° option. All my text (in rotated shapes - needed to be this way as they indicate a reflection of the top layer) is upside down. Can anyone provide me with a solution, or will my audience have to turn their heads 180°? There may be an easy answer but I can't find it! -- Thanks, as always |

Did you try Format tab Rotate Flip vertical?
You can also get any rotation in 3d Rotation Options -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "BobA" wrote: Anyone know how to rotate text 180° in PowerPoint 2007?

Text Rotation
Thanks for the suggestion, John. Problem is, that flips the shape as well.
I need to have the Shape rotated 180° but keep the text the right way up. 3D text is not what I'm after, - I just need plain text but I will see if I can simulate a 'flat font' -- Thanks, as always "John Wilson" wrote: Did you try Format tab Rotate Flip vertical?

Text Rotation
Magic!
Thanks John, much better than the kludge I was using as a workaround, a separate text box, grouped with the shape. I was assuming that z-axis was a depth parameter - conceptually, I thought that I wanted to adjust the x-axis. Your prompt response means I'll have the presentation ready in time. -- Thanks again "John Wilson" wrote: Highlight the text In text rotation choose MORE options 3D rotation Rotate the Z axis to 180 deg -- Amazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk "BobA" wrote: Thanks for the suggestion, John.

Text Rotation
I have a similar problem with text rotation. I'm using a trapezoid flipped
180 but need the text to stay right side up. I've followed your suggestion of highlighting the text and rotating the Z axis to 180 deg in text 3D rotation option. But that rotates the entire object for me. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
