apple representative about how to reverse the pictures and text to
make a t- shirt. you have to flip the text and picture to make a
t-shirt and i was wondering if anyone knew how to do that.
You can flip pictures fairly easily. In Draw, go to Modify | Flip >
| Horizontally (or right-click | Flip > | Horizontally). In Writer,
go to Format | Flip > | Flip Horizontally or Format | Picture... |
Picture | Flip (or right-click | Picture... | Picture | Flip) and
tick Horizontally.
Text is not so easy. Here is one workaround - but there may be an
easier one I haven't discovered.
o Open a new Draw document.
o Enter your text and format it as you wish.
o Select the text box - so you see the eight green handles.
o Go to File | Export..., choose a suitable graphic format (.bmp?),
tick Selection at the bottom of the dialogue box, and save the text as a file.
o In your main document - in Writer or Draw - go to Insert |
Picture... | From File... and insert the saved text file as a picture.
o Flip the picture using one of the techniques above.
I trust this helps.
