How do I print some text upside down within an Access report? Thi seems like an obvious request, but I've searched to no avail for a solution.

(I need this as I'm printing inserts for CD jewel cases that need to be folded. To get teh text on the backside the right way up when folded, I need to print the text upside down.)

MS Paint will rotate an image.

It's not an image, it's text I need to print upside down.

Paint can handle text. An alternative is to print your page twice, turning the paper around.

To use paint I would have to manually create each upside-down text string which isn't practical and turning the page would slow production a great deal. For now I guess I'll have to cut the page in two and glue... :(

I can't believe no one has ever needed this capability before. :confused:

Hi Mike

This sample has a form to allow you to rotate the text. There is a sample report shown here also. Does this help any?

Thanks hayley. Does this work on "memo" fields?
