Rotate object with text

[Munchkinmom]

I have drawn an object with text centered inside the object. I am wanting to
rotate the object and have the text rotate with the object. I have been
unable to do so. I can get the object to rotate but the text gets garbled so
to speak.

Can anyone help?

Word can't rotate text. You can have it vertically up or down, but that's
it.

As Jezebel said, Word doesn't support this. Best you can do is to use Edit/Cut,
then Edit/Paste Special and paste in a static graphics format, such as *.wmf or
*.bmp

Hi Munchkinmom,
I've found that using WordArt to create the text is best if you want to
rotate it. It also retains editing ability (without affecting the rotation),
which you lose if you cut and paste text as a wmf or bmp.
