How do you make text rotate/flip down to upright position?

How do you make text look like it rotates/flips down to its upright position. Kind of like it is on a rotating box. Thanks!

My 'spin' on things.

#3 was supposed to have the movement/speed lines you see in comics, but I'm obviously not a cartoonist.

Nancy, the best Xara Web Animation is Reveal Animation: Stretch down.

If we're talking websites, then Acorn's right. Several choices under the reveal options. The request was in the Graphics section, so I presumed static.

Select your text and Utilities > Web Animation > Reveal/Scroll (tab) > Reveal Animation (radio button) > Animation (drop down box)

A few to try:
Roll In
Rotate Fade In (various)
Flip In Vertical/Horizontal
Stretch Down

Alternative (static/graphic/rolodex) idea.

Chris, my reasoning was based on the wording in the Title, implying the action of rotating or flipping - tricky if static. Then again, I am always using the single tool (of web presentation) to solve everything.

Is this the effect you're after Nancy?

Handrawn, how do you get the text to tilt back like that? I'm doing an animation. It will flip down from the tilted text to the straight text. Don't plan to actually use the box at this time. Thanks!
