Here's an approach that I use to rotate text 180 degrees.
Make the drawing toolbar visible. Then create a rectangle box. If the
box is filled with a color, you'll probably want to make the color go
away or else change the color to your choice.
Right click on the box.
Select Position and Size.
Select the Rotation tab.
For the Rotation Angle, enter 180 degrees.
Now any text you enter in this box will be rotated 180 degrees.
I have a greeting card template and instructions for use that I'd be
glad to e-mail to anyone who is interested.

Tony,
Graphics are easy; all applications allow them to be flipped
vertically and
horizontally.
Your suggestion to use the portrait orientation is the most
parsimonious,
so that's what we'll do.
Thanks,
