How To Write Upside Down On a Computer
THIS ARTICLE HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY How to type upside down.
I am not sure when it would be useful to be able to write upside down on a computer, but should you wish to do so, here’s how you do it:
Type your text into the uppermost box
Select the text in the bottom box and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl C on a PC)
Paste the text into your document or web page.
Easy!
This is what it looks like (based on the above text):
¡ʎsɐǝ

Some uses for this facility could be:
Book covers.
Novelty items.
Special effects in a story.
Greetings cards.
Yes, you could simply enter the text in the usual way, and then turn the page upside down, but that doesn't allow you to mix normal and upside-down text in the same document.
An alternative might be to create a document in the normal manner, and then scan it into the computer as an image, which you can then insert upside-down into an ordinary document. However, not only is that a whole ton of hassle, the quality of the text in the picture will almost certainly not be as clear as the ordinary text.
So, it looks like for producing upside-down text on a computer, that upside-down website is your best bet.
