| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can use the Rotate command under Drawing Tools to change object direction and open More Settings for further adjustment. | Word supports rotating text boxes, shapes, WordArt, and pictures with a rotation handle or Rotate options. | Google Docs Editors provide image adjustment features, including rotation support for images in supported apps and platforms. | Notion supports adding, arranging, resizing, cropping, and masking images and other media, but its help page does not present a standard object rotation workflow for page content. | Adobe Acrobat supports rotating PDF pages on desktop, including page-range selection and 90-degree left or right rotation. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to rotate objects directly while editing slides, WPS keeps the workflow close to presentation design tasks on Windows. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also provide related rotation or orientation features, but their official guidance focuses on different object types and editing scenarios.
