Answer 1

This tends to be more of a printer function than a Word one, but here's how to do it from within Word XP (2002) and likely the adjacent versions.  Word Vista (2007) probably has something similar.

1. Press CTRL/P.

2. In the Print dialog box, click the Properties button.

3. If the Basics tab is available, click it.

4. Again, if it's available, check the Mirror Image checkbox and click the OK button.

5. Click the OK button to print.

Hope that works.

Answer 2

Usually there is an option for mirror image or print to a tshirt in your printer properties.  (Not where you would expect to find it.)

When you select print, choose properties for the printer.  Your paper type may have a tshirt option.  Or the page layout tab might have a mirror option.

Answer 3

No, it can not be turn around. But you can open the text with word and reformat them to the font. Assuming you still have the original picture, you can import it too. Just a little work, that's all.

Answer 4

In Word, you use Word Art to create the text.  Then you can use the Rotate tool to "mirror image" it.  Use the same rotate tool to mirror image a photo.  Here's a Microsoft KB article. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/189940

You can also use PowerPoint.
