Rotating a picture sets it at a different angle within the box, while skewing a picture applies a slanted look to it.

To rotate a picture, select the Picture Content tool and move the mouse over one of the picture’s corner handles. A Rotation pointer displays according to the selected corner. Drag the pointer to rotate the picture. You can also enter rotate values for a picture in the Picture Angle field of the Modify dialog box (Item > Modify > Picture) or the Measurements palette (Classic tab).

To skew a picture, enter a value in the Picture Skew field of the Modify dialog box (Item > Modify) or the Measurements palette (Classic tab).
