Undo is your friend as always but it doesn’t make life easy. Once you click outside the selection you set the text. You can accomplish three main tasks with Paint 3D: constructing your own 3D objects, placing them within a scene, as well as using Paint 3D’s Magic Select tool as either a 2D or 3D editor.

Once rotated, you can still manipulate the text while it is still selected. You cannot manually increment the rotation, you have the option for Right 90, Left 90, Rotate 180, Flip vertical and Flip horizontal. Select the Select tool in the Ribbon and draw a box around the text. We’ll show you how to get the most out of MS Paint, from resizing and cropping images to adding backgrounds and text, and other useful editing tips.They include Photoshop like layers, a vast number of special effects. You can add new layers to organize custom categories of shapes, and then assign shapes to those layers. You cannot select the text in isolation and rotate it. Dig a little deeper, however, and its packed with features that make the app shine. Obviously, you can simply import the image to a new layer, whatever the size is, resize the new layer appropriately (ie 'move selected pixels', move nubs (handles) then do the above to return to original dimensions. Rotation only works for the image as a whole so when placing text you will want to rotate you need to place it over an area you can rotate without it spoiling the image. With MS Paint, you don’t use layers so you have to work a little harder. This works for Pencil, eraser, line and spray tool as well. As you would normally add text as a layer you can then customize it to your heart’s content. Select any brush you want and on your keyboard tap CTRL plus ‘ +’ to make it larger and CTRL plus ‘ -‘ to decrease the size.

Rotating text is something we take for granted as super simple in other editing programs.
