Nudge Rotate

S

Is there any way to nudge-rotate an inserted pic. Not nudge
up/down/left/right but nudge AROUND. Some of my scanned pics are 1-2 deg
off level and the Word 2002 Free Rotate feature seems only to move them +/-
5 deg via
mouse rotation control. I've got grid switched OFF, even tried grid set to
the minimum - but no luck. Why don't I just re-scan them with the page
turned 1 deg more? Good question, and I've tried that. The scan and OCR
program (ScanSoftSE) has some bizarre auto straightening "feature" (read
bug) which is setting them all 1-2 degrees off level no matter how I set the
page on the platen. Grrr and ?!?!!?.

Thanks in advance.

Open the scanned image in Photo Editor, click on Image | Rotate,
rotate by any degree increment you wish, save, and then insert
the image into Word.

If you open the Format Picture dialog, on the Size tab the rotation can be
adjusted in 1-degree increments.

Ah Thank you. Suzanne Well I never knew that was there....!
Although, a shame it doesn't do 0.5 degrees, as that would fine tune my pics
even better!
I figured out the rotate handle works in minimum 3 deg lots.
