I am creating a PP presentation and want to actually have one of my text slide to be upside down. Is there anyway to do this? I will have no images on this slide just text.

Tks

David

The easiest way, is to put your text into a text box, and then use the flip
option from the Draw Menu.

If you want to mirror your text, then put it onto the slide the way you want it,
save that slide out as an image into a paint program, do your rotating and other
things there, then insert the image back into PowerPoint.

Try this:

Select the slide in Slide Sorter view and choose Edit, Copy.
Switch to regular slide or normal view and choose Edit, Paste Special and choose
Windows Metafile or Enhanced Metafile (try it both ways, see which works better)

That will give you a rotatable graphic. Spin it 180 degrees and voila!

PPT Upslide Down. Cake!
