Please describe exactly what you mean by "reverse".

If you mean that the entire page is mirror-imaged left to right, Word
itself can't do that. If your printer supports it, you may be able to
reverse the page in printing. Open the Print dialog and click the
Properties button next to the printer's name; then look through the
dialog for something like "Mirror image" or "T-shirt transfer". It
would be best to look in the printer's documentation or help file, as
each printer (if it can do it) does it differently.

Another possibility is to find a reversed font such as "Times Mirror".
Then you would have to reverse the order of the characters in the file
as well, something you would need to do with a macro.
 
Alternatively, if you want to reverse text out of a dark background, just
use Format | Borders and Shading to apply a dark shading color to the
paragraph or a table cell. If your font color is set to Automatic (which is
the default), and the shading color is dark enough, the text will become
white. Or you can use Format Font to format it as white explicitly. It's
best to use a sans serif font and apply Bold formatting for reversed text.
