Photos that rotate themselves!

Turn it 90 degrees yourself and post it that way and with fingers crossed it might turn itself round back to where you want it

Are you using Microsoft Word?

Also are you sending the doc by email, printing off or using a phone? If the latter, I cannot help you because what I know about them is a big fat zero.

Bluebell have tried that but it makes no difference - bizarre!

LondonGranny I am using Microsoft Word but only on my laptop.

As I said I'm a muppet and my 'olden days phone' (as the GC call it!) is only used for ringing, receiving or texts!

I have been doing this project for several weeks now with a mixture of photos taken on my idiot proof sureshot camera and some downloaded from emails and the net.
99% of the time they copy and paste with no problem. I can then crop, format etc. and all is well!

I am sure I must have clicked on something without realising it! I am fine while things work but hopeless when they don't!!! Perseverance is needed I feel!

If they come out the wrong way edit them after they have arrived You can click on the edit button them swivel it round

I feel the gremlin is winning BlueBelle
When I transfer photos from my camera they come out in landscape so if the photo was taken portrait I need to rotate it. That is never a problem - easy!
My problem occurs a step further on - from the camera the photos go into 'Pictures' on my laptop and can be rotated as much as I like.
Once in my 'Pictures' the gremlin moves in - a beautifully portrait or landscaped photo is there when 'copy' is clicked, then when 'paste' is clicked to the blank word doc the image is 90 degrees out!
I have just tried it again and it doesn't appear that I can rotate it once it is pasted? I've looked down 'edit' 'format' and all sorts!
Thanks so much for your suggestions - I will persevere!

Sorry can’t help at all. Try googling photo forums. There seem to be loads.

You should be able to format and anchor the photos on MS Word docs. I had a look on the MS Word support pages and it was silent on the matter. No surprise, their support is dire. It's a while since I used Word myself. Not since I retired, to be honest.

Try searching for 'anchor images' on their help topics on your computer.

...and sorry for the late reply, this thread wasn't showing on the 'I'm On' section of the forums.
