Is there any way to flip the text so it shows backwards?
Want to do a few Iron on Transfers and need to make the text backwards so it prints out that way so it shows correctly after they are ironed on.

I think "WordArt" will do it
Insert/Picture/WordArt

not really...
one way to do something "funky" but simple...
make the text in MS paint, crop around the text, cut then paste, and "image / flip-rotate"
then save the pic, and insert into word as an image
kind of a bass ackwards way of doing it, but all i can think of with simple tools

WordArt it is...

If you have a printer with postscript:
Go to printers and faxes (in the start menu), right click the printer, select properties. Go to the advanced tab, select the printing defaults button. Go to the layout tab, look for "Document options", open it (if it isn't already) then look for "Postscript options" underneath that, open that then look for "mirrored output" and set that from "no" to "yes".
otherwise, it might be worth a rummage thereabouts

Bah. Im gonna have to see if my wifes printer has that option.
My ancient Deskjet 812C doesnt have it. (Hey it was a great printer 5+ years ago LOL)
But inasmuch as we aint exactly on the up side of our relationship at the moment, its going to haveto wait.
tried the other methods and part of my problem is Im trying to used two seperate fonts. I can do it in one font or the other but they dont want ot co operate the way I want them to when trying to do them both together

according to ancient Deskjet 812C manual (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?product=58152&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us):
Here’s how you do it
1 On your computer, open the document containing the text or picture you want
to transfer to the fabric.
2 In the HP print settings box, click the Setup tab. Click the Select Paper Type
button, then select Specialty Papers and HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers.
3 If you want the text or picture on the fabric as you see it on the screen, flip the
document by clicking Flip Horizontal on the Features tab.
4 Load the transfer paper transparent-side down in the printer.
5 Print the transfer.
6 Follow the instructions included
with the iron-on transfer paper to
transfer the image onto the fabric.
After you are done printing:
1 Click to clear the Flip Horizontal box in the Features tab of the HP print
settings.
2 Change the paper type to the type of paper you will be printing on next.
3 Replace the transfer paper with your everyday paper.
You might need the latest drivers (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&lang=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=58152&) for that sort of stuff, though.

Like Eagler said, WordArt can do it. Just grab one side of the WordArt and drag it past the other.
