I made a little Excel sheet.
Landscape mode and I plug data into the cells.
I print it out and make a small tent by folding it in half.

I would like to print the top half of the sheet in normal right side up
But print the bottom half upside down.

this way, no matter which way the Tent is placed on the desk, whichever
side I'm looking at will be right side up.

I know, sounds dumb to you but it works for me.

Please and thank you.

Create a picture of it by selecting the data and Shift+Edit>Copy Picture and
Shift+Edit>Paste picture. Rotate as needed.

Printing  Tent Cards  in Excel

Use  PORTRAIT  instead of Landscape.

A1:   your wording for Tent  placard.
B1:   =A1

formatting:  what is horizontal for the tent is vertical for formatting.
You probably want to use a 36 point  (1/2 inch)  font size.

A1:  Format, Cells, Alignment,
            Horizontal:   Right
            Vertical:       General
            Text Control:    [x] wrap text
B1:  Format, Cells, Alignment,
            Horizontal:   Left (Indext)
            Vertical:       Bottom
            Text Control:    [x] wrap text

Additional Comments:
You can't print upside down in Excel 2000 with Windows 2000.
On mainframes that ability was not available for me in Script/VS
and our printers until somewhere between 1990 to 1994 for my use
and that was only when upside down versions of fonts were distributed
(later fonts could be turned with TrueType fonts), but it also required
printing backwards (sdrawkcab gnitnirp) in the upsidedown
font.   You will notice that Excel only permits you up to 90 degrees
left or right.     Perhaps  Excel 2003 can do that by now, but certainly
not before that would be available in MS Word..
