INTRODUCTIONAnother way to modify your slide illustrations is to change their position by flipping or rotating. Flipping an object simply turns it over, making it a mirror-image of the original. You can flip objects horizontally or vertically. Rotating, on the other hand, moves an object on an invisible axis, changing the direction of the object in a clockwise or counterclockwise fashion. |
CAUTIONUse caution when flipping an image that includes text. Flipping will cause the text to read backward, as if held to a mirror. |
To rotate a selected object, click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar and click Rotate or Flip. |
Click Free Rotate. |
Rotation handles surround the object. Click and drag a handle to rotate the object. |
Release the mouse button; the object is rotated. |
TIPRotating by Degrees You can use the Rotate Left or Rotate Right options on the Draw menu to rotate an object in 90-degree increments. Activating the command twice rotates the object 180 degrees. |
TIPRestricting Rotation If you press and hold the Shift key while dragging an object's rotation handle, PowerPoint restricts the rotation to 15-degree increments. |
