Hi, I'm trying to flip a text and for the life of me....can't do it. I know that there is the tool bar on the left side but can't see to flip the text....help! Thank you.

Use the Rotate Around Center (4th button down)

Hi did, it does rotate but not flip the text. I'm daft and that's the only explanation.

Oh, I see! That's even easier.

First select the item to make sure the POINTS appear.
Then select the RESIZE option (3rd button down).

Grab the MIDDLE point and pull down. You'll see it flip upside down.

Actually, either one works. However, rotate around center keeps it in place. If you use rotate around center you have to drag until it is where you want, though, but that's the only problem. Despite that it's also the neatest way to do it - the object stays the same size regardless of how you move it so use rotate around center if you care about keeping the object's dimensions unchanged.
