In xl2003 menus, you can hold down the shift key while clicking on Edit and you
get a different option (Paste picture link).

Do you see that as one of the options in the Paste button dropdown?

If no, maybe someone with xl2007 handy can chime in.

Hi! 2 things:
What do you mean by shift-edit | paste picture link?
I'm in Excel 2007 - when rotating a _shape_ it rotates the text too.
Is there a way to tell it I want the shape rotated or flipped but the text
the right way up?
Thanks.

If the textbox points at a cell, why use the text box at all?

Why not just
edit|copy the picture
select a new location
shift-edit|paste picture link

And rotate that picture.

Peo,

That worked great except for one thing.
The text box has a cell reference in it.
Example: Worksheet!$C$27
It doesn't work after text box is pasted into worksheet.
Any ideas?

You cannot rotate a text box, here's a workaround from Bernard Liengme
Make a textbox with text and everything, click the textbox frame to make it
active, hold down shift and do editcopy picture, paste the picture where
you want it, now you can rotate it the way you rotate an autoshape by
grabbing the green handle at the top

The "Alignment" tab only deals with the text. The box itself doesn't
rotate
with text.

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?
