However, this rotation is probably rarely used because the image will be off-center, and a document that contains a skewed image, doesn’t look very good. And in some cases when you want the image to be rotated at a certain degrees angle, using this approach will not be accurate.

II. Rotate vertically, horizontally, flip photos.

This is a more commonly used way of rotating the image than what had been shown above, because it can rotate more accurately. You can reverse the top, bottom, left, right of the image, making the image accurate and beautiful.
Step 1: Double-click at the image needs to be rotated, the ribbon will move to the Format tab. Here in Arrange section, choose Rotate (icon button has 2 triangles)
