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.
That requires composing the picture in reversed form.

Er, no: it is a way of reversing a picture that you already have (and
text, converted to a picture). (See the first paragraph.) You can
flip components of a design separately, of course.
