I can't seem to make this work.
To flip a shape with text. The flip works but couldn't get anything to change the alignment of the text.

VBA Code:
With Selection.ShapeRange
    .Flip msoFlipHorizontal
End With
With Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame2
    'if aligned left, align right
    'if aligned right, align left
End With

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.
I recorded a macro and this is the code I get for changing the text alignment.

VBA Code:
If Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame2.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = msoAlignLeft Then
    Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame2.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = msoAlignRight
Else
    Selection.ShapeRange.TextFrame2.TextRange.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = msoAlignLeft
End If

Thanks for resolving, this is working now, it must be the ParagraphFormat term I was missing.
