Default Rotating drawing canvas

You can't rotate the Canvas but you should be able to select all the objects
on it by Shift+Clicking each one. [Alternatively you can drag a selection
marquee around the objects to select them all.]

Then use the Group command to group the objects & rotate the group.

I'm using Word 2003 and inherited a document that has a graphic that was
pasted in from Visio. It's in a drawing canvas and I need to rotate the image
90 degrees. However, when I select the canvas, the rotate options are greyed
out. Inside the drawing canvas are lots of individual elements that I can
grab and rotate but I need everything to rotate together. Is there any way to
do this without deleting the image and starting over from scratch? I don't
have a copy of Visio to open the original image file.
