Word - Reversing word

Hi,
How can I reverse the letters in a Word? For example; I want Word to rewrite
the word "black" as "kcalb".
Using Word 2003.
Thanks,
Amnon

Hi Amnon,

You can use a vba function like:

Function Reverse(Selection As String) As String
If (Len(Selection) > 1) Then
Reverse = Reversed(Mid$(Selection, 2)) + Left$(Selection, 1)
Else
Reverse = Selection
End If
End Function

which you can call with a macro like:
Sub ReverseString()
Selection.TypeText Reverse(Selection)
End Sub

Oops! Change:
Reverse = Reversed(Mid$(Selection, 2)) + Left$(Selection, 1)
to:
Reverse = Reverse(Mid$(Selection, 2)) + Left$(Selection, 1)

copy and paste text crashes word Word If I copy text from Textedit or a pdf (using Preview) and then paste that text into Word it will crash. Once that happens I have to log out of OSX and come back before Word will run without crashing (it will open and as soon as I enter a keystroke or select a menu it crashes). Copy and pasting from within word is fine. Running the latest version of Office 2008. Any thoughts?

What's Best Way to take a .jpeg and make it cover sheet Word Doc Word I am working with Word 2007. I have a scanned document in the form of a .jpeg that I want to make the *very first page* of the "front matter" of a Word Document because of material it has on it. I am not trying to "embed" an page that I scanned, so if one of the ways includes rescanning that page to Word, or any other set of steps, that is not a problem. But I thought that you could make a scanned .jpeg into a Word page- -I just need to make it the front page of the front matter the take me 15 posts to understand instructions- -bet I can do it in one.
