Rotating a graphic

I have a new computer [Dell with Windows XP] and cannot flip graphics as I
have always done. The DRAW box for rotating graphics is grayed out so it
doesn't let me "flip horizontal". Much obliged for your direction!

David and Malke: Thank you for offering help. Clicking on the gray area told
me the graphic was not "a drawing objuect". MS Help said to try converting
graphic to a drawing object by "ungrouping & regrouping". That "grouping" box
was also greyed out. Wierd - after years of flipping photos, web pictures,
graphics of all sorts, suddenly I can't. I really need your help!
Thanks again!

Press Shift + F1 and click it and it will tell you why it is greyed out.

Help
Choose either Help - What's This? (Shf + F1) from the menu or the Help Tool from the toolbar. Use Tools - Customise to add this command to the tool bar like Word 95.

To display information that tells you how text is formatted, choose the Help Tool (or What’s This?) and click the text.



To display information about an item in Word’s window or menu command, choose the Help Tool (or What’s This?) and either click the item, menu command, or toolbar or press the keystroke for that command. For greyed out menu items and toolbar buttons this will tell you why the command is greyed out.

Hover the mouse pointer over a toolbar or screen item for a popup tip. (Turn on in Toolbars - Customize - Options).

In dialog boxes click the question mark in the titlebar then the item you want help on.

When a yellow light bulb appears in the Office Assistant, it means there is a tip available. Click the yellow light bulb to see the tip. Right click the assistant to set its options.



To display information about field codes, click in a field code and press F1.

To display information about a Visual Basic statement, select a keyword in a macro and press F1.

Try asking in a Word newsgroup where you'll get Word experts reading
your post. Here's a list of all the MS newsgroups:

Actually I don't want it. Who cares why? Cut it to the clipboard and paste it back in by

Edit menu - Paste Special ...

Choose Picture if available. If not choose a few formats and copy them to the clipboard as you get different conversions depending on what format is copied. Obviously work on a COPY while experimenting.

I presume you Shift + F1 the Group/Ungroup thingy - what did it say?
