Hi VirginaTam,

I was interested in this solution but cant seem to make it work.

I have a newsletter that has a text box containing a graphic: an Ad actually. So If I select the picture in the text box and look at it via Format>Picture>Layout, the next window shows the text wrapping style as in line with text. It is not possible to change this to the behind text option you indicated. The selection will just not change.

If I select the text box and go to Format>Text Box> Format Text Box, I can change the wrapping style to "Behind text" but having done this no green dot for rotating appears other than the standard vertical/horizontal text box resizing options. I know the dot to which you are referring as I can rotate other graphic images but not those contained in a text box.

If I look at the rotating options elsewhere the menu items are all greyed out and so I am not allowed to rotate either the text box or the object in it.

If I could make it work, it would be a useful trick to be able to use at times so I would welcome a few more details. It might also be useful to know which version of Word you are using and which platform it is running on.

Cheers,

Andrez

PS: I noticed one difference. If I paste in a fresh graphic, it appears selected with eight little hollow selection boxes. This image can then be rotated freely using the rotate options. Now if the same graphic is placed into a text box the selection boxes around the graphic change to solid boxes inside the graphic and image is no longer rotatable. So playing with the arranging options i.e. sending text or images to the front or the back plus rotating free images you can get some variations in layout as well.
