Open the Drawing Tools tab, click the Rotate button on the Arrange group, and then choose Flip Horizontal or Flip Vertical. To rotate an object in 90-degree increments, follow these steps: Choose the object that you want to rotate. Open the Drawing Tools tab, click the Rotate button on the Arrange group, and then choose Rotate Right or Rotate Left. To rotate the object 180 degrees, click the appropriate Rotate button again. Click the “Text Effects” button. Click “Transform” on the drop-down menu. To get your text to follow a curved path, you’ll want to select one of the options from the “Follow path” section of the menu. You can choose whether you want your text to curve up, down, or all around.
Wow, how odd.Check your Text Direction settings. There's an icon on the Home tab in the
Paragraph Group for Text Direction. Choose the appropriate direction there.
Once you have the object formatted the way you want, you can right-click it
and choose Set as Default Shape.
I'm not positive that will correct what you're describing, though. I don't
think you get upside-down and/or right-to-left text that way. I thought
maybe the Flip options (Home tab | Arrange | Rotate) might affect the text,
but it seems to stay put. If I flip vertically, it goes upside down, but the
object itself gets the rotation handle on the bottom in that case. Hm. Could
your text and object be two objects grouped together?
You might also check the language of the shape. If you select the shape and
go to the Review tab | Language, what language does it say at the top of the
list?

Also, has this file been moved from 2007 to 2003 and back? I've seen a
couple of odd text alignment things happen in those cases, especially with
shapes like 'round same side corner rectangle' that've been rotated 90
degrees.
