ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 64. Rotate ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

Use Rotate to turn a selected component within Page Layout and set it at a new
angle and to move its position within your document.  To rotate a selected
component, use the circular tool to "trace" the new component angle.  Once you
have turned the rotation handle to the angle you want, release mouse button 1.
The selected component will now sit at the new angle.

Note:  If you fixed the center point of the rotation tool outside of the
       selected component area, the component will center itself around this
       new point when you complete the rotation.

  1. Select an embedded component.
  2. Choose Rotate from the Edit menu.

To use Rotate:

  1. Place the pointer tool at a chosen point in your document.

            area.

  4. Click and hold mouse button 1. Rotation tool will change appearance.
  5. Drag mouse pointer around rotation rool circle to find desired angle.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 69. General Help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

The Page Layout component is used to provide a drawing-board type of
organization for a document. You can control the alignment of components within
your document, the flowing of  text and graphics throughout your document and
you can determine the printer setup for a document all from the Page Layout
component.  It also provides the basic framework for your document such as
margin width, page orientation, page numbering, and headers and footers.

Note:  Page Layout must be used as your root component if your document will be
       longer than one page and will need to have consecutive page numbering.
