rotating shapes

[mwforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Jeff Knope)]

Harv,

Too much!  Thanks.  I hadn't realized the angle values could be overwritten.
Is there any way to do that under program control?

Thanks,
-Jeff

  Jeff:
  In MW pro, you double-click on any shape, opening the shape editor. Among
the dashboard devices which line the top of that editor is an angle textbox,
defaulting to 45, which can be overwritten by any rotation angle you wish.
Then, to the right of it, is a semi spiral-like icon to  actually twist the
shape by that interval.

    What am I missing here?  How do you do that?

    Thanks,
