rotate text 180 degrees

[sadie]

I'm using msaccess 2003 and I am running a conference and want to make place cards in front of each guest. I want to fold the place card in half so it stands up. Wanting to bring in the field "Name" from my database, I'm looking for a way to print the name on the card. I will need to make a report and on the top half rotate the texrt 180 degrees

Is there a way to do this
Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you want the cards to look like, but have you tried printing in landscape?

Sadie,

Stephen Lebans has an example to show how to rotate labels.

You could make your regular textboxes invisible.
Then use the OnFormat event of your report to move the contents of
your textbox to the .Caption of the two labels.

Kind of the long-way-round, but it will work.

Sadie,

You could always set up the report to print the name below the fold?
