Rotating graphic with text

[Amber]

I am trying to make a graduation announcement. A quaterfold type card where
the inside right and inside left need to be upside down. I downloaded a
graduation graphic from the Microsoft website and inserted it, then added the
wording. I didn't do text boxes (do I need to). I have tried everything to
make my graphic with the words to rotate upside down but no success. I went
to help and followed directions but it didn't work. I finally got the rotate
symbol to look like it was rotating but it wouldn't rotate the picture.

To rotate a graphic, you must first change its wrapping from In Line With
Text to some other style. Text (even in a text box) cannot be rotated
upside-down, but see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/DrwGrphcs/UpsideDownText.htm
or http://www.gmayor.com/rotate_text.htm.

In order to get relevant answers to your questions you need to *at least*
specify what version of the software you're using. Many features change from
one version to the next.

Generally, regular text & text in text boxes or AutoShapes *cannot* be
rotated in Word. Even though the shapes, tehmselves, can be rotated the text
in them remains horizontal. In a text box you also have a text orientation
setting, but not rotation.

However you can use WordArt to create artistic text which can be rotated.
You can also do your graphic work in a program designed for that purpose &
insert a copy of the finished artwork into a Word doc. Other options may
also be available depending on version.
