Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical Make Text Uneditable

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
Text which is transformed with the Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical commands becomes uneditable. ClarisImpact changes the text into a picture.

However, when you use the Rotate 90 degrees or the Free Rotate commands, the text remains editable. Note: if you use the Free Rotate feature, hold down the Shift key while dragging to constrain the rotation to 45 degree increments (unless you have changed the Preference setting for Shift Constrain).
