Rotating and flipping a text block

You can rotate and flip a text block. You can rotate a text block using the green rotation handle that is displayed when you select a text block or using the rotation controls in the Rotation and Mirroring group on the Position & Size ribbon.

For Internet Explorer 9 users, a text block will not render a shadow if the object has been rotated or flipped.
For Internet Explorer 10 and 11 users, a text block cannot be rotated if the browser's document mode is set to 9 or less. Additionally, a text block will not render a horizontal or vertical flip if the browser's document mode is set to 9 or less.
