Print mirror image in WORD?

Legg inn av singhals » 21 okt 2007 17:01:07

I'm creating a tee-shirt that has words on it. (g)

The transfer sheets are very specific about being sure to
print it as a mirror image so the text will be legible when
transferred to the shirt.

I _know_ I've seen it in Word, but be darn if I could find
it yesterday -- everything was talking about mirrored margins.

Running Word2003 on an XP. Where do I look for the command?

Thanks!

I would use Paint Shop Pro. Paint calls it 'flip horizontal'.

You need to create an object [I'd use wordart] then flip it.
[BTW- my f1 search got results for mirror- but I have it set to search
online]

And after trying it. . . You need to have your picture toolbar
showing. On mine the 'Draw' menu is on the left. draw/rotate or
flip/flip horizontal.

I couldn't get it to word on the wordart box- I had to copy/paste it
into an image window.

I'll keep using Paint Shop Pro.<g>

The same function is also often available in various basic

picture-editing programmes which come with scanners and cameras. If
the image is going on to a t-shirt then it is likely that the pixel
count will need to be increased (along with an element of smoothing
to get rid of jagged edges).

Why are you using a word processor to work with graphics? Try
IrfanView. It's free, and it flips images around quite easily.

I believe that's a function of your print driver. I have a mirror option for
both my Epson and HP ink jet printers (but not my laser printer). Click the
properties button of your printer. For the Epson, it's in a tab labeled Page
Layout and in the HP, it's found after clicking the Advanced button.

Cool! My HP - an old PSC2100-something- has it under
properties/layout.

That takes care of my 'learned something new' for today-- I think
I'll go back to bed.

Because I thought Word would do it...because it's not all
graphics (in fact, whether the graphic flips or not is
irrelevant, it's the WORDS that need flipping) ... and the
font I want doesn't show up in the graphics program windows.

Hmmm ... I don't see it in the HP 2100 options or in the
Brother color-printer options ...

I did, however, risk the "flip horizontal" feature of
word-art, and that worked, which is what counts for me.

Thanks!

Well, yeah, if you're _ON_-line ... (g)

Thanks; the directions (which still feel pretty risky)
turned up under "Reverse" not "mirror" in Word's off-line
help, and I actually risked it (after resaving the file
under a different name!) and the "flip horizontal" in the
word-art choices worked nicely.

It was important not to screw up because some of the text
was in a language I don't read. No prizes for guessing
which one. ;)

There is a nice (FREE) program called "Paperless Printer", in which you
can do all sorts of "stuff" - print to a PDF - create .JPG, etc.
Do what you want in Word . . . then Google for "Paperless Printer,
download, and go to work. You can do a "mirror image" .JPG in most
half-decent graphics packages. I use "Paint Shop" . . . it's a lot less
$$$ than Photoshop.

Another thought -

You may wish to check your printer . . . my HP Business Inkjet 1200
allows for mirror printing !!

I was trying to let him used the font he needed with the programs he has. He
had to get form Word to a graphics file so he can give it a Horizontal flip.
if Word can Horizontal flip good he can used . But his graphics programs
cannot used the font he needed , not all printers can do a mirror printing .
