[Hidden-tech] to 180 in Word

[Don Lesser]

Make sure that when you paste the text box, you set the Text Wrapping to
"inline." Otherwise, it becomes a graphic layer that is relative to the
page.

 

If the doc was created in an older version, try saving as a DOCX, closing it
and reopening it. The Wrap Text is on the Format Text Box in Word 2003, and
the Drawing tools tab (that appears when the box is selected).

 

Worst case, select the text in the old box, create a new text box and paste
it in.

 

I'm working with the Windows version. Mac menus will differ somewhat.

Thanks Andrea!

 

Exactly.   However, the document that I am working with was formatted in an
old version of Word[ not by me].  NO Green dot.    I pasted the whole thing
into a new docx.   the green dot appears but wont drag.  the TExt box turns
but  the  text stays upright.

 

Also tried pasting a  textbox created in another docx.    it got lost in
another layer and srobbornly refesed to any  command to re-order.

 

Any thougnts?

In my version of word, if you put the text in text box, you can flip it 180
by dragging the green dot at the top down to the bottom. Is that what you
are looking for?

Is it POSSIBLE to flip text 180 degrees in Word.  Don't ask why I can't use
Pshop., Ill or Indd.
