Rotate the text in the left cell by 90 degrees to the left.
In the right cell, place the text you want to be upside-down.
In the left cell, place the text you want to be rightside-up.
Create a document using landscape orientation.
This capability can be utilized to achieve the look that is wanted. These same general steps will work with most other graphics programs as well (such as Paint).Īs mentioned earlier, Word allows you to rotate text 90 degrees either left or right. Why? Because the upside-down information is not really text, but a graphic image. Of course, if you want to make changes to the upside-down text, you can't do so without redoing all these steps. Now you can position your upside-down text anywhere you want. The graphic image (which is your text) appears in the Word document. (Normally you can do this by pressing Ctrl+A to select everything and then Ctrl+C to copy to the Clipboard.)
Use the tools in the graphics program to rotate the image.
The image (which consists of the text you copied) is pasted into the graphics program.
Switch to your graphics program and press Ctrl+V.
Press Ctrl+C to copy the paragraphs to the Clipboard.
Select the paragraphs you want to ultimately be upside down.
Within Word, type and format your text as you want it.
If you have access to a stand-alone graphics program, you could also try these steps: (This is very similar to the WordArt approach, as you are dealing with non-Word objects within Word.) For instance, you could create a fully rotated text object within PowerPoint and then insert it in your Word document. The only drawback to this is that WordArt doesn't give you the range of text control that Word does, and it was never meant to handle large selections of text, such as a quarter page or a half page of information.Īnother option is to create your text in a different application and then insert it into Word as an object. Your text is actually saved in your document as a graphics object, which Word allows you to rotate freely on the page. First, if the information you have to print upside down is fairly short, you could use WordArt. There are several workarounds you can try, however. (To print something upside down you need to rotate it 180 degrees.) Unfortunately, Word doesn't have a way to easily do this, instead only allowing you to rotate text 90 degrees left or right. For some printing jobs, you may have a need to print text both rightside-up and upside-down on the same piece of paper.
