How to Create a Mirror Image of What You Have Written in Word Perfect
Mirror images of text, in WordPerfect, are often used in flashy flyers, posters or other word processing tasks that require this extra element of design. WordPerfect does not, in itself, contain the tools necessary to manipulate text in this way.
However, using standard features built-in to the Windows operating system, you can create a mirror image of anything, including Word Perfect text. The process is relatively straightforward.
