Free rotate is not free

The jpeg image seems to be snapping to something - gird is turned off and I
am not pressing a shift key. How do I rotate the picture ever so slightly?
 
Try selecting the picture, going to the format menu and choosing Picture.
Then click on the Size tab and enter a number of degrees into the rotation
box. It appears to me that you are stuck with whole number degrees of
rotation. That is, you can't rotate .5 or 1.5 degrees, but you can rotate 1
or 2 degrees.

Actually, you can, but only via VBA.

Sub TipMeOverVeryVeryVerySlowly()

With ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
.Rotation = .Rotation + .1
MsgBox "I'm now " & cstr(.Rotation) & " degrees off kilter."
End With

End Sub
