Two problems:
1. Objects formatted as "inline with text" cannot be rotated or flipped. Right-click on the text box and choose a different text wrapping option. 2. Text inside a text box will not flip with the text box (the text will remain right-side-up). See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrp...deDownText.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm for other approaches. jog wrote: I am trying to turn a text box upsidedown.

Text boxes can't be rotated or flipped. You can add text to AutoShapes &
Flip/Rotate them, but the text in them will not be affected. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "jog" wrote in message ... I am trying to turn a text box upsidedown. HELP said to use "draw" and "Flip" ... "Flip" is greyed out and not useable when I try this.

so there's no way to have some of your text appear upside down in one place
on a page, and right side up on the same page (say in a separate column)?? graciously awaiting... Nola "CyberTaz" wrote: Text boxes can't be rotated or flipped.

You can do that with WordArt... just drag the controls so that you get
normal text instead of stylized text. Or, perhaps simpler (although the quality can vary) is to copy the original textbox to the clipboard, then use Edit - Paste Special to paste it as a picture, then drag/rotate the picture as desired. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Nola" wrote in message ... so there's no way to have some of your text appear upside down in one place on a page, and right side up on the same page (say in a separate column)?? graciously awaiting...

Text in text boxes can be rotated 90 degrees right or left but not
upside-down. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/UpsideDownText.htm and http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm -- Suzanne S.
