All you need to do is print from Word, like normal, on a piece of overhead transparency film. If you search high and low and cannot find such an option, there is a tricky low-tech solution you can use. The feature may have a name such as "mirror output" or "flip horizontal." Yours, obviously, may be in a different place. On my printer, the option is contained in a portion of the dialog box entitled PostScript Options. Many ink-jet printers include the capability to do mirrored output.Īll you need to do is click on the Properties button in the Print dialog box and then do a little exploring in the various tabs and controls. The feature is not limited to laser printers, either. Most PostScript printers (and many non-PostScript HP printers) include the capability to mirror the output. The first thing you should do is to check out the capabilities of your printer driver. There are ways you can achieve the same results, however. Unfortunately, Word has no intrinsic setting that allows you to create mirrored output. For example, you might need such a mirror image if you are doing silk screening onto tee shirts or coffee mugs with the output you create. However, for some purposes you might find it useful to print a mirror image of a document-where everything is reversed on the printout, and you can only see it correctly if you look at the document in a mirror. Word does a great job of printing documents.
