To the question: "How to flip text in Word 2007?" - An inexperienced user will answer that there is no such function in the program. But it is not so. You can flip the text, but this is not done in a completely standard way. Yes! There is no special tool for this, but there are other ways that can easily change the direction of writing text.
Flip the text in Word 2007
In total, the article will present three methods that prompt how to turn the text in Word 2007. They significantly differ from each other, respectively, each user can choose for himself the most convenient. Therefore, we advise you to read the article to the end in order to determine for yourself which method to use.
Looking ahead, I want to say that two methods involve the use of special tools, such as a table and a text field, and the third, on the contrary, is the easiest option.
Method 1: using a table
How to flip text in Word 2007 using a table? First you need to go to the "Insert" tab. In it on the toolbar find the button "Table". It is located in the Tables toolbox. When you click on it, a menu opens in which you need to create a 1 by 1 table. To do this, click on the first cell.
As a result, one cell will appear on the sheet, with which we will work. In empty space you need to put your text. You can print it yourself or paste it from the clipboard, after copying it there.
Now you can flip the text. To do this, right-click on the cell (RMB) and select "Text Direction" from the menu.
A window will appear in which you need to determine the orientation (top to bottom or bottom to top). After that, click "OK." As you can see, the text in the cell has become vertical, but often because of its size it looks unpresentable. Therefore, you need to change the size itself. To do this, move the cursor to one of the faces of the table and, holding the left mouse button (LMB), stretch it.
To complete the operation, you need to get rid of the boundaries. To do this, click RMB on the cell and in the menu - the "Borders" button. Select No Border.
After that, all lines will become invisible. This was the first way to flip text in Word 2007, but not the last. We pass to the following.
Method 2: using a text box
You can flip the text in Word with the help of a text field. In general, the process is practically no different from the previous one, but there are several nuances, which we will discuss in more detail below.
Like last time, you first need to open the Text Box tool. To do this, in the "Insert" tab, click on the button of the same name. By the way, it is in the Text toolbox. In the menu that appears, select one of the templates. It is recommended that you use the very first one, since there is no pre-formatting in it.
After clicking on the template, a text field appears in the sheet in which the text will be located. It needs to be replaced with yours, so feel free to delete and insert yours.
After that, you can begin to change direction. Click the Text Direction button on the toolbar and select an orientation from the menu. By the way, the text can be rotated at an arbitrary angle. To do this, hold the LMB on the indicator of the round arrow, which is located above the text box, and turn it with the mouse.
As in the previous method, the size of the text field may not fit the length of the written text, so you need to stretch it. This is done in exactly the same way: hold LMB on one of the borders, stretch the edges of the field.
To remove the borders, in the "Format" tab, click the "Shape Outline" button and then "No Outline".
Method 3: text in a column
Now we will analyze the last way how to turn text in Word. This time no tools will be involved. After each written letter, you need to make a paragraph, and in places where there should be a space, two paragraphs. That's all wisdom.
