[Solved] Text box keeps un-rotating and gets larger after I save

[ntaylorblanchard]

I've been able to create a text box and rotate it but when I save the document and then reopen it the rotation changes to 2 degrees and the box gets larger and changes shape.

Am I missing some formatting step?

Solution was the file format. I was using .doc
Works fine using .odt

Thanks for the help.

Did you save in the .odt format?

What file tape are you using?
How much degrees was the rotation value originally?

- maybe it is a rounding issue,
- or maybe it is an unit-related problem: degrees vs. radians,
- or maybe it is an incompatibility problem with the foreign, never standardized and obsolete file types: .doc

We can guess only without your sample file.
Can you upload an .odt type sample file here?

IIRC there are bugs with Draw items when saving as a .doc file.

See [Tutorial] Differences between Microsoft and AOO/LO files for a description of differences and for why you should always work in, and save Writer files as .odt, Calc files as .ods, Impress files as .odp, etc.

Thsnks all. The problem was that I was sabing in .doc format.
