Rotating a Text Box in Word 2007

"Word has no built-in function to invert text, to rotate it by 180 degrees or produce mirror imaged text. A simple solution is to select the text and its box and copy to the clipboard then paste into a graphics application, such as Windows Paint. There, there are tools to flip or rotate the text according to requirements. The downside is that the text becomes no longer editable. This approach should work in all Word versions.

Other than that, use PowerPoint or Publisher, there it's quite easy :)"

"There is an official way recommended by Microsoft to rotate text boxes in versions before Microsoft Office 2010.

Select text box.
Press Ctrl+X (cut)
Select ""Paste Special"", then paste as PNG.
Now you can rotate it like a picture (because now it is converted into an image.)

Now you can rotate it by dragging the green dot.

Changing it into PNG is the only way to rotate text boxes. (By changing text direction you cannot precisely define the degree of rotation.)"

Open the text box and Rotate it manually, and stop just before 180°.(At 180° direction of text will change to normal)

you can rotate the text in excel 2007 by selecting insert>shapes>text box, write text in text box and then you can rotate the text box from 0 to 360 degrees.If don't require the text box border select text box>format>shape outline>select white color. select text box copy and paste in word 2007
