Horizontal Flipping of Visio Org Chart
How can I group all of the elements of a Visio Org Chart,
and then flip them horizontally? I am using Visio to make a Family History Tree. I want to copy it onto an Iron on transfer, which requires the text or picture to be flipped. I have even tried to import the Visio into Word or Powerpoint, however, the flipping feature in these products gets turned off for an imported Visio document. Any thoughts? |

what you might check is for an option on your printer. on mine if I go to
properties there is a 'mirror' function. Al "Robert E." wrote in message ... How can I group all of the elements of a Visio Org Chart, and then flip them horizontally?

Horizontal Flipping of Visio Org Chart
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?

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. -- Mark Nelson Microsoft Corporation This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Hello Robert, Unfortunately, I do not believe it is possible to flip text in Visio 2003 so that the text is mirrored. The earlier suggestion provided by Al Edlund would be your only workaround, but I understand your printer doesn't have a mirror function either. If I find a way to do this, I will get back to you again, but in the meantime please do send a suggestion to Microsoft Wish at http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;114491 Many thanks, -- Kindest regards, Nollaig Ni Laighin - Technical Support Specialist - Microsoft Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

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. -- Kindest regards, Nollaig Ni Laighin - Technical Support Specialist - Microsoft Services This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
