I created a fairly simple 'flow chart' in Word; I use quotes because what I actually ended up doing was drawing a series of shapes and then turning them into text boxes to make an evacutaion route. I explained to the end user that this was a quick and dirty technizue(she was in a rush!) but that it wasn't going to be overl amenable to editing in the future.



Of course, now she wants an edit. How can I rotate the entire drawing? Best way to explain: hold this page and turn the entire thing upside down.

I can't seem to select the entire page, so the 'rotate' button is grayed out.

Hi Kitty,

You could select and group all the objects on the page, then rotate them, but that's not going to work for textboxes, because you can't rotate them in Word 2007. In Word 2010, by disabling compatibility mode you can rotate textboxes but you still can't have upside-down text in them - the nearest you can get is vertical text.
