Hi all,

I need to rotate an inline shape, so I convert it to a shape (using
ConvertToShape), rotate it using the Rotation or IncrementRotation
property/method.

It's all fine and dandy at this point, my image is nicely rotated (90
degrees btw). However, I need the image to be inline, so I now call
ConvertToInlineShape but Word keeps the rotated dimensions but rotates
the image back to how it originally was.

I can kind of see the logic why Word might do this, as if the image was
rotated say 45 degrees then that couldn't easily be placed back inline.
However, by going through the Picture Format dialog I can set the
rotated shape back inline with no crazyness.

Is there any alternative to using ConvertToInlineShape? or how can I
get Word to convert it without messing up the rotation?

TIA

Craig

Hi Craig!

I don't have anything brilliant, but you could try this:
After rotation of the shape, copy it and paste it as a GIF or something the
like.
I tried that and the result I got was a converted shape which I could
transform into an inline shape.

There is a downside, though. The conversion will reduce the quality of your
picture. So far I couldn't find a way to avoid this. Maybe someone else knows
how.

Regards,
Herbert
