Rotating Pictures in Word

Question

How do I rotate pictures in Word? 

Answer

The rotating control in Word enables you to simply drag a picture in the direction you want to rotate it—very simple and easy to use. Instead of moving the image in predesigned increments, the Rotate tool lets you be in control of how far you want the picture to rotate.

Start by clicking the picture in your document. You'll notice that a spiral arrow appears in the top center of your image. This is the rotate handle. Position the mouse on that handle. To rotate click the rotate handle and drag clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the angle of the image.
