turning picture in Powerpoint 97

[congelator]

Hi everybody,

I've inserted a picture in Powerpoint 97. I need to turn it 90 degrees left but the small icon in the bottom of the screen is not active.

Any idea is welcomed

Thanks Ced

As far as I know there is no way to rotate a bitmap in PowerPoint (even in 2000). What you should do is open the picture in a graphics package and rotate it there then re-save it as a different name. Then import this new picture into powerpoint and it should be rotated. Hope this helps.

That confirms what I thought and what I told to the user but he assured me he did it directly...

Thanks for your confirmation Ced

What I have done is ungroup the bitmap, then used the rotate option, then regrouped the bitmap again.
