Default Horizontal Flipping of Visio Org Chart


--------------------


Actually I think you will have more success if you create this type of
diagram as a flowchart. Flowchart has more flexible layout styles. You can
lay out a portion of your diagram with a specific direction in mind.

Robert E. is not the only one trying to do this! My printer doesn't have

a 'mirror' function; I've been exporting the files to Photo Editor and doing
it there but would love to be able to do it in Visio. But HOW?



Hi again Robert,

We have some good news for you. A colleague came up with the following
potential workarounds:

1) Select the shape.

2) Copy it to the clipboard.

3) Choose Paste Special from the Edit menu.

4) Select Picture or Picture (Enhanced Metafile) from the list and
click OK.

5) Flip the resulting graphic object to obtain the desired result.

What you get is a picture that can’t be edited, but it should provide the
desired visual effect. The result may vary slightly between the two paste
options so try both and see which looks best for you.

You can also choose Microsoft Visio Drawing from the paste list. This will
give you an embedded Visio OLE object which you can flip for the desired
effect. You can edit it by double-clicking it which will launch Visio
in-place within Visio, just like embedding a Visio object in Word or Excel.
