How to reverse text?

When you're making various wedding items by hand, there might be situations where you think, "I want to reverse the text!"

For example,

When making a cake topper using glitter paper (printing or tracing the reversed text on the back of the glitter paper)

When creating an acrylic wedding certificate or welcome board (it's more aesthetically pleasing to write from the back on the acrylic board; otherwise, the text might get erased when written from the front)

It is quite difficult to write reversed text neatly by yourself, so a quicker method is to trace or cut out paper that has the reversed text printed on it◎

Now, let me introduce how to reverse text♩

Method 1 to reverse text

First, open Word or Excel, and write the text you want to reverse using "WordArt"◎

In Excel, you can find WordArt here,

And in Word, you can find it here＊

You can use any text, but I think the regular text in the top left or the cut-out text next to it is more user-friendly♩

Method 2 to reverse text

Once you have created the WordArt frame, type in the text you want to reverse◎

This time, I want to reverse the word "love"♩

I chose a stylish cursive free font called Winter Calligraphy＊

Method 3 to reverse text

After writing the text you want to reverse, go to Drawing Tools > Format > the small button at the bottom left of WordArt Styles > set the 3-D rotation in the X direction to 180 degrees＊

Now the text is reversed!

You can reverse the text in no time♩

After that, just print it out and use it for the items you need♡

For emergencies! Let's remember how to reverse text♩

I introduced you to the methods of reversing text in Excel and Word＊

During wedding preparations, there are many occasions when reversed text is needed, such as when making paper items or welcome boards◎

Even if you can't immediately think of an item you might need right now, there might be a time when you do! Make sure to check how to reverse text while you can♩
