how do I reverse text so I can use my laptop as a tele-prompt?

[Guest]

I've read about reversing text at the printing stage for using iron-on
transfer paper, but I'd like to reverse text on my laptop screen, preferably
in Word, so it reads correctly in a makeshift telepromter I'm improvising.

The only way Word can do this is to use a mirror-image font. There are
probably others, but the one I know about is Times Mirror. It's
available from a number of free-font sites, such as
http://www.flyerstarter.com/Free-Fonts/T/Times-Mirror-Regular.html and
http://www.absolutelyfonts.com/abfonts/html/t3.htm.

Besides applying the mirror-image font to the text, you'd have to type
the characters in reverse order. That could be done with a macro.

If your printer can mirror the text, it might be easier to print it
that way and scan the result into a graphic file to display for the
teleprompter.
