Flipping and rotating images, text boxes, and other objects

You can change the orientation of photos, text boxes, shapes, and other objects on a webpage by rotating them, or by flipping them horizontally (side to side), vertically (upside down), or both.

To flip and rotate objects:

  1. On your webpage, select an object by clicking it (or Shift-clicking to select several objects).

  2. If the Metrics inspector isn’t open, click the Inspector button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window (or choose View > Show Inspector), and then click the Metrics button.

  3. Image of the Metrics Inspector button.
  4. Do any of the following:

    • Click one of the Flip buttons in the lower-right corner of the pane.

    • Drag the rotate wheel to change the angle of the object, or enter a new value in the Angle field.

      To rotate, you can also drag a selection handle while holding down the Command key. To rotate in 45-degree increments, hold down Shift-Command while dragging a handle.
