How can I flip a text box in InDesign without flipping the text?

[Tomi25232619g5dj]

I have a document that I want to flip the layout of, however when flipping the text boxes it also flips the text, is there a way to do this and retain the text?

Lets get this more clear first: what do you mean exactly with 'flip layout'? Or do you mean 'mirror'?
