How to adjust the rotation of an object?

The orientation of an object inserted into a slide presentation needs to be
adjusted. Attempts to freely rotate it result in over rotation as the
minimum rotation increment is greater than the desired rotation adjustment.
Is there a way of reducing or specifying the increment size of rotation for
an object in PP?
 
John,

Thanks for the effort. I was using the single handle, but at least on my
system, the single handle and the four corners rotation from the "Draw" menu
seem to render the same results, even while holding the "Alt", "Ctrl", or
"Shift" keys at the same time as I attempt to rotate the object.

Through further experimentation, I noticed that when the image (not the
content in the image) is oriented one might say parallel to the X or Y axis,
the initial rotation seems to snap to a predetermined span; however, after
that, it can be moved in rather small increments beyond that point until it
again approaches the paralle axis and then it will again snap over a
specified span. The size of the span is approximately equivalent to the
present automated default used when the "Ctrl D" command is repeated several
times resulting in the creation of duplicate object at predetermined offset
distances from the previous instant of the last object duplication.

I have tryed turning the "Snap to Grid" on and off while adjusting the image
to no avail.

Hopefully this provides additionally insight into my challenge.

You can set rotation by degree in the Format dialog (rigthtclick the object and
choose Format from the popup menu, go to the Size tab and plug in the amount of
rotation you want).

The interface is a bit buggy. It only gives values in full degree increments,
though you can actually set smaller amounts via VBA.
 
Steve,

Thanks, I do not know how many time I have been to that screen and had never
paid attention to the rotation section.

It worked perfectly.GIJoe

Glad it worked. The trouble with these graphical user interfaces is that sometimes
us graphical users forget to look at 'em. <g>
