[Word] Word 007 neat trick - look 'through the back' side of an image

[KSGALE49 at aol.com]

I have often used this technique when I was trying to do bookend type  
pictures in Word and Publisher. You can use any of the resize handles  to do this 
however I notice that the picture isn't as clear as it used to be  online but 
when printed it looks just fine. It works as far back as Office  2000 if I 
remember correctly and maybe further back.

Hey  gang, I tripped over a neat trick in Word 2007, one I hadn't heard of  
before.

I was resizing a pasted graphic to a smaller size inside of  Word.  I'd 
grabbed the resize handle on the upper right corner of the  picture and started 
dragging it (proportionally) smaller.  I slipped and  went too far, past the left 
margin of the picture, then my finger slipped off  the mouse button.

Imagine my surprise when I found myself looking  "through" the "back" side of 
the image.  It had swapped left for right  side, so all the text was reversed.

It's not something you'd use every  day, but then again you can say that for 
99% of the other features in  Word

I'd be interested to hear if it works in older versions  too.

PS: the "Word 007" was a slip of the fingers, left it in for a  giggle.  I 
still hate the ribbon UI)
