I have modified Electrical Outlets by taking the Revit out of the box ones and save as to our network. Then I modified the general shape to fit our symbols and also added a instance parameter under group parameter "other" so that I can indicate a number. The problem is that the number faces the wrong way when the symbol is attached to the right hand side of a vertical wall (works fine when its to the left hand side). It works fine when it goes on a horizontal wall. So the number "3" looks like mirrord the wrong way when its on a vertical wall to the right hand side. Any suggestions?

Your text style is set to "keep readable". This allows it to be read from the bottom or right of a view at all times. If you need you can turn it off and the text will be upside down or readable from the left depending on how the symbol is oriented.
