(In reply to comment #1) > It's a shame that Writer doesn't support rotating of images (Impress and Draw > do).
No. From my point of view it a shame to duplicate functionalities between modules. You can do everything you may want on your images in Draw (or Gimp if you prefer). No need to modify them in Writer. Writer is a text processor, not a drawing software. Please, keep it as light as possible. Best regards.

This makes the task of importing images/graphs into OpenOffice unneccessarily difficult and complex. Since OpenOffice already has a gazillion of options about images, it's quite amazing that it cannot rotate them.
