Wish I found this 5 mins ago - have just battled and got nowhere! Had given a passing thought to going landscape and doing the opposite-sideways trick but speed was of the essence! Even tried doing it in Excel and Publisher and still couldn't get it working the way I wanted. (I was trying to print some tented signs that would show text on both sides) How weird tho that all these years on we still aren't *allowed* to want to type upside down as a matter of course!

When you print the doc, the text will be upside down. See this article for a clearer explanation and screen shots.
