Rotating Objects on a Page

You can rotate objects on a page.

NOTES

You’re unable to rotate an object if it’s locked in place.

You’re unable to rotate tables.

TIPS

You don’t need to rotate vertical and angled text objects before you edit them. When you double-click a text object, it automatically rotates to a horizontal position. When you finish editing the text and you press outside of the text object, the text reverts to its original angle.

If your SMART interactive product supports them, you can use multitouch gestures to rotate objects.

To rotate an object
