Rotating graphic with text
I am trying to make a graduation announcement. A quaterfold type card where the inside right and inside left need to be upside down. I downloaded a graduation graphic from the Microsoft website and inserted it, then added the wording. I didn't do text boxes (do I need to). I have tried everything to make my graphic with the words to rotate upside down but no success. I went to help and followed directions but it didn't work. I finally got the rotate symbol to look like it was rotating but it wouldn't rotate the picture. Lost.......................... |

Rotating graphic with text
To rotate a graphic, you must first change its wrapping from In Line With
Text to some other style. Text (even in a text box) cannot be rotated upside-down, but see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/UpsideDownText.htm or http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm. -- Suzanne S.

Rotating graphic with text
In order to get relevant answers to your questions you need to *at least*
specify what version of the software you're using. Many features change from one version to the next. Generally, regular text & text in text boxes or AutoShapes *cannot* be rotated in Word. Even though the shapes, tehmselves, can be rotated the text in them remains horizontal. In a text box you also have a text orientation setting, but not rotation. However you can use WordArt to create artistic text which can be rotated. You can also do your graphic work in a program designed for that purpose & insert a copy of the finished artwork into a Word doc. Other options may also be available depending on version. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Amber" wrote in message ... I am trying to make a graduation announcement.
