If you want to rotate several objects in the same direction at the same time, you can group them

and rotate the group. For information about grouping, see page 90.

To rotate by using the tool palette

1. Click the object you want to rotate.
2. Click

. The tool palette opens.

3. When Rotate is set to 0, the object is in its original horizontal state. Negative numbers rotate the

object to the left and positive numbers rotate it to the right. Either enter a number in the Rotate

field or use the arrows to change the number.

Be careful not to rotate the object so that part of it is beyond the edge of the product – that

part will not be included in the product.

4. When done, click outside the palette.

When you rotate an image using one of the methods above, you are just rotating the box that

contains the image. Some images, however, can be edited so that you rotate the image itself; see

page 82.

When the opacity of an object is 100%, nothing shows through it. As you decrease this percentage,

you can gradually see through the object, which also starts to fade. You can use opacity to place

objects on top of each other and still be able to see both objects; you can also use opacity to achieve a

more muted effect.
For example, you may have an image with some text above it:
