Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Currently when a picture is imported, it is impossible to rotate it. This makes the task of importing images/graphs into OpenOffice unneccessarily difficult and complex. Since OpenOffice already has a gazillion of options about images, it's quite amazing that it cannot rotate them.
WORKAROUND: Use WriterRotationTool http://

IN microsoft publisher there is a feature which makes cropping and rotating of images a breeze. In
OO.o it is very difficult to achieve good results as these features are not included in all the
relevant programs (writer, presenter and paint)and especially the cropping part is very
difficult to do in a convinient manner due to the small preview.
So what would be a nice way to do
this? Well as I said: Publisher does in the following manner (I seem to remember) After having
clicked an image I have the usual rezize arrows popping up when I point at the edges. If I do it with
'ctrl' pressed I get an rotating arrow indicating that I can rotate the image and if I press the
'alt' key I get a scissor indicating that I can crop the image instead of resizing it.
This is in my
opinion one of the most awkward things to do in OO.o, improving this would give me a far faster
program to work with!
