Mirror Image and keep text normal

[Alex J]

Hello!
I am creating a PowerPoint presentation and I need to mirror the images but
not the text. The reason is that my pictures (of a tool machine) were mirroed
when I got them. Now I finished my pp presentation (over 80 slides with 7-10
pics each) and realized about that issue.

Please I need some help here!

Thanks in advance!

Sorry if I'm asking what probablt seems obvious to you but ..

Is the problem:

You need to know how to mirror the images

OR

There's a lot of images and you want an automatic way to do it quickly.

If it's the latter it's probably possible with code as long as either ALL
the images need flippin OR you have some way of identifying those that do.

The problem is the second you mentioned. I need all the images flipped.

What code should I look for?

 

[John Wilson]

Try this on a copy

Does that do what you need

Sub flippin()
Dim oshp As Shape
Dim osld As Slide
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.Type = msoPicture Then
oshp.Flip (msoFlipHorizontal)
End If
Next oshp
Next osld
End Sub

Is it another way to do it? I do not have administrator privileges in this
computer to run a codec.

I already tried printing it in mirror but all the text is mirrowed too.

Please?

and thank you in advance!

If you click to select a picture.... then on the 'draw' menu (bottom left)
is an option to "rotate or flip" - Choose "flip horizontal" to mirror the
image (left to right)

Repeat this for all your 80 pictures

It would be quicker to add the "flip horizontal" button to your existing
'toolbars'

See tools menu > customize > toolbars > to add it to your existing toolbars

Then a quick
1) select picture
2) flip button
3) Page down - repeat from 1 will have it done in now time
