Rotation Tool Won't Save

[KaleidoQuilt <ka...@verizon.net>]

Hello,

I have Windows 7.0 and am using Open Office 4.1.3 Writer. I am using the 
Drawing Tool. I am making right angle triangles. One with the apex to 
the bottom left and one (rotated) with the apex at the bottom right. All 
looks good, and I SAVE the document. When I re-open the document all the 
triangles are situated with the apex to the bottom left. I have tried 
ROTATING using the "curly arrow" button and also by going into the menu 
selection and choosing 90 degrees. I have tried to "fix" the problem 
twice, but every time I SAVE and re-open, the triangles are back to apex 
bottom left. This also happens with curved arrows. I will set them in 
the direction I like, but they revert back to their original position 
after SAVE and re-open.
Please advise.

You probably SAVE AS .doc format instead of SAVE in .odt format

Good for you.  You told us both what OS you are using and what version of OO.

Rotation may be an issue, but the method described and illustrated in
the attached document works, even if you choose to save in one of
Microsoft's formats.
