Actually, I found the extension "WriterRotationTool". It works as a workaround in LO. You will need to install the version 1.0 (tested on LO 3.6.4.3) from there: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/en/node/3620/releases
After restarting LO, you should see a new blue icon in the toolbar. By selecting a picture and clicking this icon, you can now rotate the object as it is considered as a graphic. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/87220 Title: [Upstream] Wishlist: Add rotation of images to writer Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: openoffice.org Currently when a picture is imported, it is impossible to rotate it. 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.
