Create a Two-Sided Label

You can quickly create a two-sided label using the mirror text effect. When you apply this effect, a mirror image of the content in the object is placed above the original content. This feature is useful for creating two-sided file folder labels using address labels or for creating tent-shaped cards for place cards.

The mirror effect can be applied to Address, Text, Counter, and Date and Time objects.

To create a two-sided file folder label

  2. If necessary, resize the Text object so that the object fills the label.
  3. Enter the text for your label in the Text object.

  4. Right-click the object and choose Properties.

    The Text Object Properties dialog box appears.

  5. Under Text effects, select the Mirror check box, and then click OK.

    A mirror image of the text is added to your label.

  6. Click .

  7. Place the label on your file folder so that the center of the label folds over the top of the file folder.

    The text is visible from both sides of the folder.
