How to keep rotated clip art from being cut off?

[cathylynn]

Whenever I rotate clip art (from any source) it is often cut off around the
edges. If zero rotation, image is complete. What's the secret?

There is no secret. What do you mean "cut off?" Are you manually rotating or using
the "format object" dialog?
It could be your graphics driver. Slide the acceleration down on your adapter,
control panel, display folder, settings tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab. If
this helps go to the manufacturer's web site of your graphics card and look around
for an updated driver.

I've adjusted the acceleration but still have problems. It happens randomly
when using format picture, free rotate from toolbar or the green handle.
Looks fine on the display but prints with edges cut off. (Ex, part of handle
on cup missing, corner of house gone.) Will see about updated driver. Thanks
PS You have a much more professional (but still friendly) approach to
questions than some other MVP's who can be rude and demeaning sometimes! You
assume we've tried the obvious solutions and offer suggestions in
understandable terms. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind comments... I truly appreciate them.
Do you think the parts that are missing is because you are trying to print beyond
your printer's margin limitations?
Open WordPad, file, page setup, input zero in each of the margins, WordPad will
default to your printer's limitations.

Margins have already been set to minimum. This "cropping" occurs even when
clip art is in middle of page and there is nothing nearby or overlapping.
I've done hundreds of ads with rotated clip art in Pub 2000, no problem.
Problems began with 03 version.
