Thanks to you both!

Here was the problem:

I *didn't just* copy the cell - I <Shift <Edit <Copy Picture
Then <Shift <Edit <Paste Picture

Just a simple "Copy", with a "Paste Picture" works fine.

I *overcomplicated* it a bit.<g

I don't have access to xl2k anymore, but in xl2003, I'd do this:

Type the text I want in a cell.
Edit|Copy
Go to the other cell (different worksheet?)
Shift-edit|Paste Picture link
(pasting the picture link will allow the picture to update if the "sending"
cell
changes)

In xl2003, there's a green circle coming off the top of the pictu


0 <-- green circle
|
0----0----0 (0's represent the grab handles)
| |
0 0
| |
0----0----0

I can grab by that green circle and rotate the picture.

(I don't recall if this is the way xl2k works--with the green circle, but I
seem
to remember that I could rotate pictures in that version.)

Dave,
Would you be kind enough to do a walk through.

I can't get my XL2K to perform a rotation.

Both the drawing toolbar and the format picture dialog box have the
rotation
option grayed out.

Even "ungrouping", to transform it to a MS Office drawing object, which
then seems to activate those rotation options, still doesn't perform any
actual rotation.

Maybe you could use this technique:

Put that value/formula in an out of the way cell.
Edit|Copy that cell
Then to where you really want to see the upside down text
Shift-edit|paste picture link

Now you have a picture of that "real" cell. But since it's a picture,
you
can
rotate it 180 degreees.
