Yep I tried Neil's way as well. I was certain that on an earlier
iteration of M$ Word it allowed text rotation. The rotation tool and
tab was greyed out in the 2001 edition.

Yes interesting, I thought Eugene's idea should also work in Word -
ie put
the Text into a text box and then rotate the text box. However with
a text
box selected the rotate option seems to be greyed out (Another MS
"feature"
?!). Similarly cycling through the text orientation allows normal,
vertically up, vertically down but not inverted - frustrating!
If you want to stick with Word then one way round it is:
- Create a text box with the text you want to rotate.
- Select the text box, right click and choose the "save as picture"
option.
- Using some image editor (Preview will do) rotate the picture
and resave.
- Insert the (inverted) picture into your document.
- Stick some pins in your Bill Gates voodoo doll.
It should be easier, but...
Hope that helps
Cheers

Can someone tell me if there is a program, hopefully free or cheap,
which allows placing of a block of text upside down at the bottom
of a
page, eg. answers to questions in a quiz.
I can't find this feature in Word X for Mac (1983-2001) or the old
BBEdit Lite.
Using OS 10.3.9
