Rotation angle: number A rotation angle (degrees) may be selected using the spinner control, but any angle may be entered in the spinner box.  As per the rotation item in the Object menu, angles are in degrees and are measured counter-clockwise (ie. mathematical convention).
Metafile: See → Only a single option is available; allows exportation of the metafile image as either a Windows® metafile (.wmf - 16 bit) or an Enhanced metafile (.emf - 32 bit) image.  Note that if an object is already an EMF (32 bit) metafile, and is exported to a WMF (16 bit), it is possible that some aspects of the metafile may be lost; 32 bit metafiles support an enriched format while 16 bit metafiles do not.
