Publisher Developer ReferencePublisher Developer Reference

True to print a vertically mirrored image of the specified publication. The default is False. Read/write Boolean.

Syntax

expression.VerticalFlip

expression   A variable that represents an AdvancedPrintOptions object.

Remarks

This property is accessible only if the active printer is a PostScript printer. Returns a run-time error if a non-PostScript printer is specified. Use the IsPostscriptPrinter property of the AdvancedPrintOptions object to determine if the specified printer is a PostScript printer.

This property is saved as an application setting and applied to future instances of Microsoft Office Publisher.

This property corresponds to the Flip vertically control on the Page Settings tab of the Advanced Print Settings dialog box.

This property is mostly used when printing to film on an imagesetter so that the image reads correctly when the emulsion side of the film is down (as when burning a press plate).

Example

The following example determines if the active printer is a PostScript printer. If it is, the active publication is set to print as a horizontally mirrored and vertically mirrored, negative image of itself.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sub PrepToPrintToFilmOnImagesetter()

With ActiveDocument.AdvancedPrintOptions
If .IsPostscriptPrinter = True Then
.HorizontalFlip = True
.VerticalFlip = True
.NegativeImage = True
End If
End With


End Sub
