I'm trying to make my own monogram using my word pad like I have seen many ppl say. I have the font and font size down, but now what? Aren't I supposed to get the letter to REVERSE so that it can print on the back of the pp I want to use so then I can cut it out?? PLEASE HELP!! Thanks so much

You will need to make sure your word 'art' toolbar is open at the bottom of the screen ... you have no option to reverse text but you can reverse 'images'. Create your text using the art text tool at the bottom of the screen and you will get the option to reverse when you choose 'edit'. I did this just the other day and couldn't figure out why I had no reverse option ... lol ... who would want to read text backwards?

djg59, she was asking about Wordpad, not Word. As far as I know, Wordpad doesn't have that option, but you may have it in your printer options (I don't--old printer). You can also reverse text in Paint, which comes free with Windows, or the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program), a free digital editing program.

Thanks for the help Karen, my printer does have that option. I was able to figure it out and made my first monogram....YAY!! I'm pretty happy with it I can't wait to make more!!
