You no longer need complicated image editing programs like Photoshop or GIMP to edit your images for Microsoft Word documents. It is true that Word does not have all the image editing options you might need, but simple things like resizing, positioning, flipping and rotating can be done right in the Word document.

The best part is that the process of rotating an image in Microsoft Word is simple and similar across all platforms. That means you can easily do it on Windows, macOS, or the web version of this app. You can essentially rotate any graphic element, such as shapes, WordArt, or a text box, the same way you would rotate an image. It’s a simple operation, but there are several ways to do it.

You can manually rotate an image in Microsoft Word to the desired angle. All you have to do is click on the image and drag your mouse. This is the easiest way to rotate an image in Microsoft Word and it works in Windows, macOS, and web versions of the app.
