No reason to try to get a printer file to handle it. Bill

Does anyone know if there is a way to print text backwards from a printer file?? I have seen in a list of keywords, that dds has a keyword of 'REV' for reverse, but I have not seen any examples of it's use. I'm looking for the field to contain something like: 'MY TEXT' and the printer to print: 'TXET YM' (except with the 'E' facing to the left) Thanks so much if any one knows if this is possible or not
