I am trying to insert and rotate an old HALLMARK clip from Works2000. I can
resize it but when I turn on the flip/rotate button on the Draw menu--it says
I can do nothing. I can do it for other people on OfficeXP and newer
applications but on Office2000 I can't do it. Am I missing a step or
something? Mary Sauer, where are you when I need you? I checked your web
page and couldn"t find an answer. PLEASE.

What program are you using? I am not too acquainted with how Works 2000 handles
clipart. Did you try your question on the Works newsgroup?
There is an excellent tutorial for Works 2000 here
http://support.gateway.com/s/tutorials/index/Tutorials.asp?cat=1&subcat=1&topic=27

Now if the clipart is in Word, you need to change the wrap to anything but
inline. Once you change the wrap you should be able to rotate the clipart. I
don't have Office 2000 installed on any of my computers.

A support document, not sure it will help if you have a different format.

I was using Word2000 but then I went back to my old (bad?) habits and copped
out by rotating the clip in Publisher2000(see THAT problem was fixed) and
pasted it into Word2000. It relieves the frustration.
