Text Orientation - Upside-down?
First, I barely know what I'm doing in Word with tables....
I have a table that I use to create tab labels for 3-ring notebooks. I have the cells sized exactly how I need them to fit the plastic dividers. I use two rows for each tab, folding them in half length-wise so they don't slide out of the holder. I therefore type the text on every other row so the front has text but the back is blank. However, I would prefer to type the text on every row, with the first row upside-down and the next row right side up, so that when I cut them out, I can fold the tab in half and have it read correctly on each side of the plastic divider tab. I hope that's clear... Is there a way to orient the text in the table cell to being upside-down? -- Susan |

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/UpsideDownText.htm
http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm Basically, you need to create at two-column table with text rotated 90 degrees in opposite directions in the two columns. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you, Suzanne!
That's what "not" thinking outside of the box does for me....it never even occurred to me to turn them 90 degrees - which works perfectly, of course! :-) -- Susan "Suzanne S.
