How to Flip Images in Word for Iron Design

Making your own wearables and totes can mean standing out in a crowd of generic clothes and logo designs, but getting those one-of-a-kind items requires a bit of heat. Iron-on designs use a special kind of material to transfer an on screen image such as a photo or picture. Ironing a design puts it in mirror focus, though, so to prepare your work, you can flip the image before printing using Microsoft Word.

Instructions

1. Click the "Insert" tab at the top of the work area in Microsoft Word.

2. Click the "Picture" button on the ribbon below the tab.

3. Browse to the image to flip and double-click its file name, opening it on the Word page.

4. Click the image to highlight it, and open the pink "Picture Tools" tab at the top of the workspace.

5. Click the "Rotate" button on the ribbon below the tab. Select "Flip Horizontal" from the drop-down menu to flip the image.
