Cant find "flip" (horizontal or vetical) command/tool - help!

[mistercitizen]

New to Indesign - puzzled as to where this tool is - any ideas?
Closest thing I can find is the "shear" tool.

Thanks in advance!

You can do it when you select the box with your black arrow tool then go to object>transform>scale, then click non-uniform and put in -100% in you horizontal

Whops, sorry...a better way is to:
In your transform pallet click on the "little arrow thing" in the top right hand side of the pallet. that has the Flip option

Thanks.

You'd think they would just include it in the tool pallette - just like in illustrator. And keep the same key-command (o) to access that tool - I use it all of the time in illustrator.

Get your act together Adobe!

I use it all the time when I draw, too. But I virtually never use it in my page layout app. Personally I'm quite glad it doesn't further clutter up an already overly-large tool palette.
