Microsoft Word was initially developed in 1983 and has steadily grown to a indispensable part of everyday computing. Using said software has become easier through the years and with the new added features has been able to do so much more. However, some features have yet to make it to Word; one of which is upside down writing. In Word, you can only turn text 90 degrees, which makes it virtually impossible to invert text without use of a little creativity and elbow grease.
