    A little off subject, but just for interest:
    This is really a job for DTP software, rather than a word processor. If you've got a version of Office that includes Publisher, this sort of thing is what Publisher is really good at. Serif's PagePlus is available in a free "lite" version here and it shares most of Publisher's features.
    Oddly, for once it's also quite easy in OpenOffice Writer where you can achieve a similar effect to that in Post 6, but using a table and with the paper in landscape format.

    Hello,

    I can do this in Word 2003 by setting the Page Layout to Landscape, creating a Textbox in the part you want folded over and then clicking the text direction button once.

    Do the same for the text you want the right way up, but press the rotate text button twice.

    You should now have a landscape page (where the 'top' of the page is the left side short edge) and two text boxes with the text in opposite directions.
