When you are finished selecting, click the Select Objects button again to restore the normal mouse pointer.
Click the Select Objects button on the Drawing toolbar and drag to surround all the objects with a dotted line. When you want to apply the same effect to several objects, it's easiest to select the object first and then apply the formatting. Then you can modify it in parts or as a whole. However, if the clip art image is a Windows Metafile (WMF), you can ungroup it (as will be explained in an upcoming article titled "Align, Stack and Group Objects") to change it into drawing objects. Rotation and flipping work only on drawing objects, not on picture or clip art. Click the Draw button on the Drawing toolbar and click Rotate or Flip to see the menu. Other times you need to rotate an object exactly 90 degrees or flip it around completely so that it is facing the other direction. When you are finished, click away from the shape to return to the normal mouse pointer. Drag any of the green handles to pivot the object. This changes the sizing handles to green circles and changes the mouse pointer as well. Click the Free Rotate button on the Drawing toolbar. Select the object so that sizing handles surround it. If you want a mirror image of the object, you can flip it. When you want to pivot the object to that it is at a different angle, you can change its rotation. When an object does not appear to be going in the right direction in MS Word, you can flip or rotate it to your preference.
