How do you reverse letters. For example, the letter "E" has three prongs pointing to the right. I'm wanting to make them point to the left.

The web and help options were a bust. I really should have started here where I know I can always expect sage advice.

Where/in what form do you wish to invert the letters?

Do you just want the letters inverted, or do you want a mirror image?

There are special fonts for this purpose for image/digital layout.

They won't work for non-.pdf ebooks.

You could always generate the text you want reversing in a drawing program, flip them there, then import them into your document as a graphic. You might have problems getting everything perfectly aligned, though.

In addition to the awesome responses so far, you can also open your character map to see what options you have available that can be typed in plain text with a font that everyone can read.

If you're not sure how to get there, Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Character Map

You will see lots of backwards letters, strange characters/symbols and also Greek letters available in most fonts.
