Actually, rotating an image is an extremely basic task and should be available in writer. Of course everybody expects to see that implemented when all the following image enhancement options are already available in Writer: - Invert - Smooth - Sharpen - Remove noise - Solarisation - Ageing - Posterise - Pop art - Charcoal sketch - Relief - Mosaic - Greyscale - Black and white - Watermark - Change colours, brightness, contrast, gamma - Transparency - Flip horizontally or vertically And no rotating ?? How can you justify that? I understand if you argue about the necessity to have options like "pop art" or "charcoal sketch" available in writer, but a functionality as basic as rotating is a must have. Just to give an example: today, I was having a look at my new photos, and rotating them with the F-spot viewer. When I added one of those photos to a document in Writer later on, the image wasn't rotated. As an average user, I don't know why Writer didn't take into account the modifications I already made, and I probably don't want to look into it. The only thing I want is an easy way to rotate it directly in Writer, without having to use another specialised software for such a simple task, interfering with my workflow.

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.
