word 2000 question

i dragged and dropped a spreadsheet into my word file. Now i need to rotate it 90 degrees to the left. So I right click on picture and choose 'show picture toolbar' and on the toolbar, I try selecting 'Rotate left 90 degrees' but it's grayed out.

How do I accomplish this?

thx

is that "spreadsheet" filling an entire page? if that is the case, simply change the page orientation for the printing...

anyhow, you cannot rotate the excel spreadsheet which is an ole object and not a picture...
Word 2000 wasn't very good at picture rotation (that starting getting much better with 2002).  Your only option in Word 2000 to rotate object is to convert them to a picture (MS Drawing Object, if I remember correctly).  Just do a Copy/Cut, and the Edit > Paste Special, choosing the Drawing Object format.  Then you should be able to rotate it.
