Grab the left or right middle handle and drag it over. It will flip the point of the text balloon without flipping the text backwards. Grab the top or bottom middle control handle to flip it vertically.

Also, if you want to flip it and don't want to risk dragging control points because it might mess with your layout. Flip it like you normally would then, under Format -> Shape Choose Reset Text and Object Handles.
