How To...
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
1. Create an address label that contains a Text object.
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

Mirror
check box, and then click
OK

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

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.
