Rotate image fill within shape

[mlem]

Hi I'm working with microsoft word 2016. I have several shapes that I want to fill with images, but all the shapes are rotated 90 degrees. When I fill the shapes with a picture, they are also rotated 90 degrees. How do I rotate the image within the shape so that the shape is rotated 90 degrees but the picture is not?

1. Click on the shape to highlight it
2. In the shape format menu that's now available click on the small arrow at the bottom right of the Shape Styles section to open the format picture menu
3. In the format picture menu that opens click the paint bucket
4. Click Fill to expand that section
5. Scroll to the bottom of that section and uncheck "rotate with shape"

Hope that helps!
