Flip the text in Arcmap....

[MonyrothLy]

Excuse me sir.... in arcmap, it can rotate and flip graphic drawing like polygon or rectangle, however it cannot flip the text..... any solution to flip the texts....

I suppose it is not possible to flip text, since it would compromise the readability of the text. Why would you want to do that?

[XanderBakker]

You could create an image of the text and flip the image, although it does not make sense to me...

I want to flip the text according to stream direction, so how to create image?

Do you mean the feature labels?

To change the orientation of labels go right-click on your layer and select Properties then the Labels tab. There is a button Placement Properties:

The parallel or curved options should make the labels match the stream directions.

Check out these results when flipping features and text:

As Xander says as soon as you flip text you end up with a mirror image that does not make much sense. The flip both example is the same as rotating text 180 degrees:

Generally, text that is upside-down (at any angle) becomes hard to read. Mirrored text is even harder to read.
