Rotate drawn objects together as a group

Lets say you have drawn a stick man in excel. Oval for a head and line segments for body, each of 2 arms, each of 2 legs.

Now you want to rotate him. Perhaps make him lie down.

You can select all six element and use the rotate/flip/etc commands, but each of the 5 line segments will rotate individually, as will the oval. This rather than the little guy rotating as an object.

Is there a way to group drawn objects so as to rotate the whole picture, as it were, rather than simply seeing each element of the picture pivot around individually?

Thanks

Hi,

Hold down shift, and select all the items one at a time. Then, right click, and select group.

The objects can then all be rotated as one.
