Rotating View Area
If you were drawing on an ordinary piece of paper, you could rotate it to any angle while you work on it. For example, if you wanted to print text upside down, you might first rotate the paper 180 degrees. Microsoft Expression Design also lets you rotate the "paper" by rotating the document view area on screen. You can rotate the view area by clicking Rotate View Clockwise on the View menu, or clicking Rotate View Counter Clockwise on the View menu. You can also press the equivalent keyboard shortcuts: SHIFT+[ and SHIFT+], or the corresponding keys on a non-US keyboard. Each time you choose one of these commands, the view area rotates 22.5 degrees (that's 1/16 of a circle), so to turn the page upside down (180 degrees) you need to choose it eight times.
The page rotated within the document window. Note that ruler guides also rotate with the page, but new ruler guides placed at this rotation appear horizontal or vertical.
When you want the view area back to zero degrees (the way it was when you opened the document), click Reset View Rotation on the View menu or press the END key.
If you have a tablet that detects the tilt angle of a stylus or a 4D mouse that can detect rotation, you can use it (in conjunction with the Pan tool) to rotate your page interactively. Make sure the Pan tool rotates paper option is selected in the Stroke panel of the Options dialog box.
