Can't rotate

Hi. Using Windows-ME, Office 97, 512 megs ram, Pentium 4, blah blah.

Having a bizarre problem. Making an invitation with about 10 lines of
text. The top line and one line in the middle won't print. I have made
this in Paintshop Pro, Publisher, Word, and Powerpoint. I didn't try
Excel yet. ;-) Oddly enough, it's working ok in Powerpoint, and
Powerpoint only.

But! I have an image that is supposed to be rotated about 15 degrees and
my rotate button is not enabled. I tried to google but can't find this
issue addressed.

Any ideas? Did I give enough information?

Thanks!

Betsy

Looking at it again. More info: I have an image, then text over the
image. Then I have a small photo over everything else. I can rotate the
text but not either of the images.
 
Erika,
It has been a while since I used PPT 97, but i seem to recall you can't
rotate bitmap images and such in that version. Starting with version PPT
2002 you can though.
At the time there were add-ins available to overcome this, I think Crystal
Graphics had one, don't know if it is still available.

Thanks. I figured out I can rotate in PSP and save the rotated image,
and insert that.
