I searched MS Word Help for "rotation" and it said: Only drawing objects can
be flipped or rotated. If you can convert an object to a drawing object by
ungrouping it and then grouping it again, you can flip or rotate it. You
won't be able to convert a bitmap to a drawing object.

To convert an object, select it, click Ungroup on the Draw menu, and then
click Group.


If you can't convert the object, open it in another drawing program, rotate
it there, and then save it. When you reopen it in Word, it appears rotated.


I did one clipart object successfully, but after that MS Word wouldn't allow
me to "UNGROUP"....it remained grayed out when I selected the object. Please
help. Thanks in advance.

Sheana: Word isn't a graphics program. If you run up against
limitations (your graphic was obviously a bitmap and it cannot be
converted), then use MS Paint or use Microsoft Photo Editor. Good luck!
