Hi Kathryn,
You didn't mention the version of Word you're in (which changes the steps on how you rotate or reshape a graphic, or what you're
actually trying to achieve (i.e. Word, except for using flash or a video file embedded doesn't do animation).
You can the yellow diamond control on some autoshapes, such as as a parallelogram and drag it to a line or back.
You can start by inserting a line and apply 3d effects to it and use the line rotation points to go to a shape and back to a line,
or you can use a regular rectangle with the 3D effects.
There is a Change shapes choice (for Word 2007 it's on the Drawing Tools=>Format ribbon, in earlier versions it's on the Drawing
Toolbar=>Draw choice that lets you switch shapes but it doesn't offer the choice to change from a straight line to shape or vice
versa.
==========
I want to rotate a box, but not in the normal way where the rotated box is
still just a box. I want to box to shape-shift. While rotating the box, the
box will eventually become a line if rotated far enough, then continue
rotating and it becomes a box again.>>
