Go to Insert-Picture-Autoshape and choose your shape. Then add text. Then
(ex. rectangle) you should have a green dot that you can click and drag to
rotate the box and it's contents. You should not have to right click and
format the box. You can rotate the autoshape at anytime after it is created.

I've created a text box and I want to rotate it 30 degrees.
I've right clicked and picked "Format Text Box" and selected to "Size" tab.
The rotate box is shaded and I cannot change this setting. Why not?
