Printing names on both side of name places

I know it's not quite the same, but if you use a WordArt box you can rotate that in Word.

Alternatively, if you use Microsoft Publisher you can rotate text boxes any angle you want.

You can also rotate text fully in Powerpoint if you don't have publisher

I'd use powerpoint. I think you can do it in word with a setting but can't remember what - font settings/alignment? Don't have word on this PC (got open office) so cant check.

I got the template from another website so can only use it in word as it is set up for the dimentions of the name places I am going to order

Draw a text box to type in your name (the tool is on the drawing toolbar if you can't see it and looks like A|). Move the cursor so it changes to a hand and click on the text box, then copy it. Go to the Edit menu and choose Paste special > Picture. You can now select the picture and rotate it using the Free rotate tool in the picture format box (looks like a swirl). Do this again so you have two name pictures, then delete the original text box. To position them where you want them on the card you'll need to select the pictures and change the text wrapping from In line with text. Also deselect Move with text (may be in the Advanced tab).

See i read this and thought, why not turn the paper around?? This is the extent of my technical ability whilst ill I am afraid ?

That would work, but you have to put the paper/card through TWICE! Thats getting technical too. We did it with our invites - easier than faffing.

Thanks Lawie, that sounds technical. May just stick with the normal printing
