142 Chapter 7 Working with Shapes, Graphics, and Other Objects

Flipping and Rotating Objects

You can flip or rotate any object. For example, if you have an image of an arrow that

you want to use in your document, but you need it to point in a different direction, you

can reverse its direction vertically or horizontally, or point it at any angle.

Here are ways to change an object’s orientation:

m To flip an object horizontally or vertically, select the object, and then choose Arrange >

Flip Horizontally or Arrange > Flip Vertically.

You can also click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Metrics Inspector button, and then

use the Flip buttons.

m To rotate an object, select the object, hold down the Command key and move the

pointer toward an active selection handle until it changes to a curved, double-headed

arrow, and then drag a selection handle.

To rotate an object in 45-degree increments, press the Shift and Command keys while

dragging a selection handle.

You can also click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Metrics Inspector button, and then

drag the Rotate wheel or use the Angle controls to set the angle of the object.

m To rotate a shape but keep its text horizontal, after rotating the shape choose Format >

Shape > Reset Text and Object Handles.

You can’t rotate an inline table. To rotate a table, it must be a floating object.

Changing the Style of Borders

For shapes, chart elements, text boxes, and table cells, you can choose a line style and

color for the object’s border, or you can specify no border. You can also put a border

around imported images. You set border line style and color using the Graphic

Inspector and the Colors window.

Use the Format Bar to quickly change the line style and color of a border. Select the

object, and select the line style and line color from the controls in the Format Bar.

To set the line style and color of a border using the Graphic Inspector:

1 Select the object that you want to modify.

2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, and then click the Graphic Inspector button.

3 Choose Line from the Stroke pop-up menu.
