Retalic function in Word

Hi all
I'm wanting to do a left slant italic in a Word document, which, according to Google, is called retalic.
I can do the usual right slant italic, and put a shadow with it, but I want to do a left slant retalic with the same word.
For the life of me, can I find a way of getting the word to slant left instead of right, I can't.
Any thoughts, suggestions and/or advice that might help me ?
I've even had a mooch in Powerpoint, but can't seem to do what I want it to do.
Ta muchly
Stuart

I believe you may have to download and install a new font to do what you want to do, one with the characters slanted in the way you want. Its effectively reverse italic. This isn't a Word feature, you'll have to bodge it with another font essentially.You may be able to achieve something similar with WordArt but your mileage may vary.2
