Re: [tdf-discuss] Two simple writer annoyances

Yes, it is build to produce Dokuments and because of that I need to 
rotate a picture. I work in a bank. We have restrictions on the 
installed programms. I am not allowed to install any application that 
can rotate pictures.
I have to create our formulars/documents. Each of them has a barcode. I 
get the barcodes horizontally but need them vertically in the 
formulars/dokuments.
In MS word I can rotate them, in LO (wich is allowed in our bank and 
also the software we shall use over Word) not, so I can't use LO but 
have to use Word.

So,a big yes. I need that function, too.
