Anyone know how to rotate text 180° in PowerPoint 2007? The presets are 90°
and 270° but no 180° option. All my text (in rotated shapes - needed to be
this way as they indicate a reflection of the top layer) is upside down. Can
anyone provide me with a solution, or will my audience have to turn their
heads 180°?

There may be an easy answer but I can't find it!
 
Thanks for the suggestion, John. Problem is, that flips the shape as well.

I need to have the Shape rotated 180° but keep the text the right way up. 3D
text is not what I'm after, - I just need plain text but I will see if I can
simulate a 'flat font'
 
Magic!
Thanks John, much better than the kludge I was using as a workaround, a
separate text box, grouped with the shape.

I was assuming that z-axis was a depth parameter - conceptually, I thought
that I wanted to adjust the x-axis. Your prompt response means I'll have the
presentation ready in time.
 
I have a similar problem with text rotation. I'm using a trapezoid flipped
180 but need the text to stay right side up. I've followed your suggestion of
highlighting the text and rotating the Z axis to 180 deg in text 3D rotation
option. But that rotates the entire object for me. Is there something I'm
doing wrong?

Thank you
