Turn the text in "Word 2007"

In total, the article will present three ways,suggesting how to turn the text in "Word 2007". They are very different from each other, accordingly, each user can choose for himself the most convenient. Therefore, we recommend that you finish reading the article to the end to determine for yourself what method to use.

Looking ahead, I want to say that two methods involve the use of special tools such as a table and a text box, and the third, on the contrary, is the simplest option.

Method 1: using the table

How to flip the text in Word 2007 usingtables? First you need to go to the "Insert" tab. In it, on the toolbar, find the "Table" button. It is in the "Tables" tool group. When you click on it, the menu opens, in which you want to create a table 1 to 1. To do this, click on the first cell.

As a result, one cell will appear on the sheet, from whichwe will work. In the empty space, you need to put your text. You can print it yourself or paste it from the clipboard, after copying it there.

Now you can flip the text. To do this, right-click on the cell (RMB) and choose "Text Direction" from the menu.

A window appears in which you want to define theorientation (from top to bottom or from bottom to top). After that, click "OK." As you can see, the text in the cell has become vertical, but quite often because of its size it looks unpresentable. Therefore, you need to change the size itself. To do this, move the cursor to one of the faces of the table and, holding the left mouse button (LMB), stretch it.

To complete the operation, you need to get rid of boundaries. To do this, click on the PCM on the cell and in the menu - the button "Borders". Select No border.

After that, all lines will become invisible. This was the first way how to flip the text in "Word 2007", but not the last one. We proceed to the next.

Method 2: Using the text box

The text in the "Word" can be reversed by using the text box. In general, the process is practically no different from the previous one, but there are several nuances, which we will discuss in more detail below.

Like last time, you first need to opentext field tool. To do this, on the "Insert" tab, click on the button of the same name. By the way, it is in the tool group "Text". In the menu that appears, select one of the templates. It is recommended to use the very first one, as there is no pre-formatting in it.

After clicking on the template, a text field appears in the sheet, in which the text will be placed. It must be replaced with yours, so safely remove and insert your own.

After that you can start changingdirections. Click the "Text Direction" button on the toolbar and select the orientation from the menu. By the way, the text can be rotated and at an arbitrary angle. To do this, you need to pinch the LMC on the circular arrow indicator that is above the text field, and rotate it with the mouse.

As in the previous method, the size of the text fieldmay not be appropriate for the length of the written text, so you need to stretch it. This is done in exactly the same way: squeeze the LMC on one of the borders, stretch the edges of the field.

To remove borders, you need to click the "Outline shape" button in the "Format" tab and then "No outline".

Method 3: Text in a column

Now let's analyze the last method, as in WordInvert text. This time no tools will be used. After each letter is written, you need to make a paragraph, and in places where there should be a space - two paragraphs. That's all the wisdom.
