How do I turn off the free rotation handle?

In the help directions it says to click or de-click FREE ROTATE but that is nowhere in the rotation section of the formatting palette.

I'm afraid I don't understand what the problem is. The graphic shapes in
2008 don't have a rotation handle the way they did in 2004.

Once you select a shape the Formatting Palette presents a Size, Rotation &
Ordering section right at the top. The circular arrow provides a menu of
choices, one of which is Free Rotate. Selecting that causes the four corners
to turn into green rotation handles. You can then turn them of by clicking
the button again & selecting Free Rotate - which leaves the shape selected
as it would normally be - or you can simply click elsewhere to deselect the
shape altogether.

If this isn't the answer you need please rephrase your question with more
descriptive details.
