[dba-Tech] In Word - Upside Down Text?

I was able to rotate Word Art in Word 2007.

After creating the Word Art text, on the title bar there will be a WordArt
Tools tab.
In the Arrange section of the ribbon toolbar, the bottom right icon is
rotate.
Click on the Rotate icon and click either rotate right 90 2 times, rotate
left 90 2 times, or More Rotation Options
If you clicked on More Rotation Options, enter 180 in the rotation box.

That will give you upside down text in Word 2007 Word Art.

Hi Rusty - I spoke too quickly.  What I should have said is that the ability
to make upside-down text using WordArt is not in Word 2003.  From the first
reference that Bobby Heid gave you used to be able to do this using WordArt
in Word 95 and previous, but not since then.

Dan, from Word 2003 help:


	1. On the Drawing toolbar, click Insert WordArt . 
Note  The Drawing toolbar appears in the lower left 
corner of the program window. If you don't see the Drawing toolbar, on the
View menu, point to Toolbars, 
and then click Drawing.
	2. Click the WordArt (WordArt: Text objects you create with
ready-made 
effects to which you can apply additional formatting options.) effect you
want, and then click OK. 
	3. In the Edit WordArt Text dialog box, type the text you want. 
	4. Do any of the following: 
	* To change the font type, in the Font list, select a font. 
	* To change the font size, in the Size list, select a size. 
	* To make text bold, click the Bold button. 
	* To make text italic, click the Italic button

Each of these solutions will work!  

This also explained WordArt - which unfortunately is not in Word 2003.

Thanks!

Here's some ways I found (none of them really a good solution):

You'd think there would be a way to put upside down text in a cell in a
table, but I can't find it.

Can this be done?

Thanks!
Dan
