Free rotate is not free

[Guest]

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?

 

[Guest]

Have you unticked "snap to grid" and "snap to other objects"?

Did that answer the question / help?

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.

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

End Sub
