In PPT, you'd probably have the best luck using Word Art for that. For
that matter, you could use Word Art in the other Office applications to
do the same.

Also, in PPT 2002 (aka PPT XP), you can copy a regular textbox or
placeholder, use Edit/Paste Special, and choose Picture. Then, with the
picture selected, go to the Drawing toolbar and use the Rotate/Flip
Horizontal option to mirror the text.

This doesn't work in PPT 2000, though. You'd first have to ungroup the
picture you created by pasting special, regroup it, then do the flip
horizontal. But all that does is change the order of the textboxes; it
doesn't actually mirror the text.

You can also use programs such as Illustrator and CorelDraw to mirror
text. I wouldn't use Photoshop, though -- I'd stick with vector packages
for text.
