Go to Format - Cells - then go to the allignment tab -
you will see that there is a control set in the bottom
right for doing this

If the text is in a cell, you can rotate it up to 90 degrees using
Format/Cells/Alignment...

And if you mean "reverse" rather than "flip"........

Public Function RevStr(Rng As Range)
RevStr = StrReverse(Rng.text)
End Function

Usage is: RevStr(cellref)
