Excel allows for the rotation of shapes, which can be useful for both aesthetic and practical purposes.
Steps
Follow these steps to rotate a symbol:
| 1. | Select the symbol using your mouse. |
| 2. | A green dot will appear above the symbol, as shown in the picture below. |
| 3. | Position your mouse over the green dot until the mouse pointer turns into a circular arrow. |
| 4. | Click down on the green dot and rotate the symbol to the angle desired. |
| 5. | A dashed outline of the rotation will be displayed as you adjust the angle. |
| 6. | Release the left mouse button when the symbol is at the desired angle. |
Note: in Excel 2000 - 2003 the symbol will rotate, but the text will not. Excel 2007 will rotate the text.
