SYMPTOMS

When you rotate an Office Art drawing object or AutoShape that contains a textured or patterned fill, the fill pattern stays in its original orientation and does not rotate.

CAUSE

The patterned fills are actually made up of tiled bitmaps, which cannot be rotated in the Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition programs.
