Text reversed

(OP)
When I try to extrude text on a surface using Tools/Sketch Entities/Text. It comes out in reverse. The flip icons in the manager tree are greyed out so I can't flip it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks

When i use text, I lay down a construction line first and then put my text on the construction line.  If you draw the line from left to right then the text will be normal, if you draw the line from right to left then it will be inverted.  Hope that helps.

RE: Text reversed

I think that's the first time I've actually helped someone on this particular forum.  Usually I'm the one asking for halp.
