I wanted to take a 3D cube with text on it, turn it so another side of
it was visible and have text on the now visible side of the cube.

I am also having trouble using spin emphasis animation. I just want
to make a square turn and become a diamond, but it spins too much.
Any help is appreciated.

Don't think the cube can be done (but I might be proven wrong)

The diamond >> in spin amount choose Custom
Type in 45 and then hit enter (you must hit enter or tab else it will not
"stick")

I don't think that can be done natively and I don't know of an add-in, so it
looks like flash would have to be the way to go. Or consider a different
concept <g>. For example, if you are using a cube to represent dice as in
gambling/risk, maybe playing cards would work, or if you are saying all
sides of the same thing perhaps a spinning coin would do (which you can do
natively), or if it was a funky way to move from point to point there are
plenty of other ways you could go, see what I mean? See me, I'm all for the
easy life so if the first idea falls into the too hard basket I look for
another idea :-)
