Those options are enabled only if the current selection is an object that
CAN be flipped or rotated, such as an autoshape. Try creating and selecting
a rectangle (not a textbox) -- NOW those options will be enabled.

I can't get my flip/rotate to work in Word 2000. It looks like the whole
menu for this function has been turned off. How can I enable it. I have
Windows XP Home as my OS. Any suggestions? I've tried to search almost
everywhere I can think of in Microsoft.

Thanks.
