Rotating and Flipping Objects

Many times when you add an AutoShape or clip art image, it ends up facing the wrong direction. For example, you may add a callout to draw attention to specific text, but the callout is pointing the wrong way.

Tip

To rotate or flip a single object in a group, you need to ungroup it first and then regroup after changing its direction.

To rotate or flip a selected object, click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar, choose Rotate or Flip, and then select one of the following menu options:

• Free Rotate Enables you to openly rotate the object

• Rotate Left Moves object counterclockwise

• Rotate Right Moves object clockwise

• Flip Horizontal Turns object horizontally

• Flip Vertical Turns object vertically
