anybody here got the software to "mirror" the following text?
Not good enough to just spell it backwards - I can do that! 8-)
But I need it to look like it would in a mirror.
Can you help me - and if so paste it here or send to me via email - or both?
Here's the text - -

Here's the answer from a Q&A page I found:
How can I flip a font or make it a mirror font? Answer
Well, this is tricky. You can't take a font itself and flip it or mirror it. Fonts are fonts; they're just how they are and you can't change them.
You also can't just take a character, word, or paragraph in Word, for example, and flip it or mirror it either. The only way you can flip text is if it's in a drawing object, such as a text box, a shape, WordArt, or in a table cell. The only way to mirror text is if it's in an AutoShape, picture, WordArt, or piece of clip art. To flip or change the orientation of text in an object
Click the drawing object or table cell that contains the text you want to change.
On the Format menu, click Text Direction.
Click the orientation you want.To mirror text
Click the AutoShape, picture, WordArt, or clip art you want to mirror.
On the Drawing toolbar, click Draw, point to Rotate or Flip, and then click Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical.
Hope that helps some.

I like it when there is something I know I want to do...trying to figure out a way to do it.
I knew I didnt' have any flipping softeware so I typed your words into a text book on a Power point slide. I then saved the slide as a JPG.
I then opened up another Power Point slide and inserted that JPG file as a picture. I flipped the JPG image, cropped it and saved it as a picture.
As evidenced by this thread, there is often more than one way to do what you want with computers. Thanks for the challenge.

Yesterday I bought a pair of sunglasses, Ceece. To fit over my new smaller lens prescription glasses.
SEE?

Like I said... You are crazy!
And you drew us NazNetters in on your little scheme!
But think of all the practice we had!
