How to Flip/Invert Letters in InDesign
Adobe’s Photoshop and Illustrator have relatively simple tools for flipping images both vertically and horizontally, but performing the same task in InDesign takes a little bit of creative tweaking. If you want to flip and invert just one letter out of a given word, you will need to edit the specific attributes of that letter separate from the rest of the document. You cannot flip a letter while it is linked to other letters in a word, but once it is on its own, you can force it to invert.
