A small problem is I made a map of our local area through PowerPoint
and the text on the map is through text boxes (change the name of
restaurants a few times when they close). When I open this map
through Open Office Impress, I can't seem to edit items on the map
(even "rotate" the text boxes so the same direction). I have
included an attachment of the map.
(Your three attachments were identical.)
There is nothing in your presentation that I cannot edit, in fact. I
don't know what gives you the impression that you cannot.
Could the reason that you cannot rotate text be simply that you have
not discovered how to do this in Impress?
o Click or double-click the text until you see the eight coloured handles.
o Go to Format | Position and Size... (or move the mouse until you
see a four-pointed arrow and then go to right-click | Position and
Size..., or press F4).
o On the Rotation tab, under "Rotation angle", adjust Angle as required.
Alternatively:
o Click or double-click the text until you see the eight coloured handles.
o Click the Rotate button (a curved arrow) in the Drawing toolbar
(which appears by default at the foot of the window). The handles
change shape and colour - to red.
o (The black symbol at the centre is the pivot point. Drag this
elsewhere if necessary.)
o Drag any of the corner handles to rotate the text as required.
I trust this helps.
