PPT97: Resizing Object Can Turn Text Upside Down

SUMMARY

In PowerPoint, you can turn the text in a text box or drawn object upside down by dragging the resize handles of that object. To do this:

1. Select the drawing or text object.
2. Drag one of the top handles downward until your cursor is below the bottom margin of the object.
3. Release the mouse button.

The text in the object now appears upside down. The text is not mirrored; it is rotated 180 degrees.

This procedure works only on objects created by PowerPoint's drawing and text tools. It does not work with imported pictures or OLE objects.
