Mirror Image

[Ann]

Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to make text mirror
image on a PowerPoint slide as in show the letters back to
front. I have tried rotate but that is not what I want.

Thanks in advance.

Select the cells and Shift+Edit>Copy Picture>Picture. Paste it in Powerpoint
and Rotate/Flip as needed.

Ann,

I am not aware of a way to do it in either Excel or Powerpoint, but I was
able to do it by using the Windows program "MSPaint". I think MSPaint is
available in most versions of Windows. Usually you can find it under Start>
Programs> Accessories. If it isn't there, try Start> Run> and type
MSPaint.exe

I did a printscreen of my Excel spreadsheet, opened Paint and pasted into a
new document, then
selected only the area I needed, copied it, opened a new MSPaint document
and pasted again, then used Image> Flip/Rotate> Flip Horizontal to get the
mirror effect, and then saved the file as a bitmap.

I could then open PowerPoint and on the appropriate slide do Insert>
Picture> From File and selected the file I had saved in MSPaint.

Sounds complicated, but is really quite simple once you've done it once or
twice.

Hope this helps!
Steve

Swap them around before copying to PP.

Function RevStr(s As String) As String
Dim i As Long, m As Long, n As Long, t As String
m = Len(s) + 1
n = Len(s) / 2
For i = 1 To n
t = Mid(s, i, 1)
Mid(s, i, 1) = Mid(s, m - i, 1)
Mid(s, m - i, 1) = t
Next i
RevStr = s
End Function
