Rotating and Flipping Graphics

After you insert a graphic or create an object, you can change its orientation on the page by rotating or flipping it. Rotating a graphic keeps the original front to back positioning and rotates the graphic clockwise or counter-clockwise to achieve the desired affect, while flipping a graphic creates a mirror graphic of a graphic, oriented either horizontally or vertically. Rotating turns an object 90 degrees to the right or left; flipping turns an object 180 degrees horizontally or vertically.
