SUMMARY
In PowerPoint, you can turn the text in a text box or drawn object upside down by dragging the resize handles of that object. To do this:
 * 1) Select the drawing or text object.
 * 2) Drag one of the top handles downward until your cursor is below the bottom margin of the object.
 * 3) Release the mouse button.

The text in the object now appears upside down. The text is not mirrored; it is rotated 180 degrees.

This procedure works only on objects created by PowerPoint's drawing and text tools. It does not work with imported pictures or OLE objects.
