Symptoms

You insert a picture in a Microsoft Office Word 2007 or Microsoft Office Word 2010 document that uses tight or square wrap. When you rotate the picture at certain angles, the text that surrounds the rotated picture does not correctly wrap around the picture. For example, the text may overlap the picture. Alternatively, there may be too much white space between the picture and the text.
