Rotating Picture, revisited

[Helen McClaine]

I've read your instructions regarding rotating picture (Format | Layout |
Float over text [9/18/04] OR Format Picture | Layout | Wrapping style not
in-line with text [10/14/04, 11/14/04] ) but this doesn't work for me.

I'm using MS Word 97 SR-2 (don't know if that's relevant).

When I right-click the image, I can click on Format Picture. However,
within that window there isn't a Layout option. There is a Wrapping option,
but clicking on various options doesn't free up the rotate tool on the
Drawing toolbar.

Thanks for answering this question yet again.

Thanks for responding, Mary.

I tried both suggestions and in neither case is the relevant component
enabled. In other words, when approaching as a basic clipart format, "Float
Text" is not enabled in the Position window; when approaching as a Metafile,
"Disassemble Picture" is not enabled in the Drawing Toolbar once I select the
image.

I have no idea how this graphic was created. It is a gif, which may be the
problem. Perhaps I should convert it to a jpg (if this is possible)?
