Text can be freely rotated to any angle (including upside-down) in
Publisher. Sometimes the best solution is to do a document entirely in
Publisher (especially if it will be distributed as hard copy or as a PDF).
Although rotated text can be copied from Publisher and pasted as a picture,
the quality is often not so great. You can copy and paste text as a picture
in Word as well (and then rotate it), but again, it won't look quite like
ordinary text (even worse is trying to get something that looks like
ordinary text using WordArt).
