This didn't work for me (Word 2010, Win 7, 64 bit) but this does;

Enter Word art text as you wish, then

- select the text you wish to rotate

- the Drawing Tools, Format ribbon will show;

on this ribbon go to Wordart styles and left-click on "text effects"

- this brings up a sub-menu, hover over "3d rotation" and left click on "3D rotation options"

- select "X" and set it to "180"

-left-click "close" to action this on the selected text.

It's just a shame the "flip horizontal' command doesn't work on the text, just the bounding box...

Interesting. I would not have expected that to work at all. Surprisingly, it does.
