Microsoft Word 2010 Rotation Handle
When you select an Object, you'll see a Green Circle above it. This is a Rotation Handle that allows you to Free Rotate the Object.

Move your Cursor over it, and when the Cursor changes to a Rotation Arrow, hold down your mouse button and move to the Left or Right of the Object.
Duplicate a few of the Eggs to put in the Basket and in the Bunny's Paw.
As these Objects are very small, the Rotation Handle does not show.

In this instance you would go to the Arrange Group of the Format Tab and select Rotate.
From the drop down menu that appears select More Rotation Options.
This opens the Layout Window.

Advert Font
The Main Font used in this Easter Egg Hunt Flyer is Advert by Richard Mueller, which was downloaded from FontFreak.
Desyrel Font
The remaining Text on the Flyer uses the Desyrel Font by Apostrophic Labs.
You can download this Free Font from Fontsquirrel.
For a newly downloaded Font to be usable on your machine, you must first install it. Any Font installed while Microsoft Word is open, will not be visible in the Font List.
To correct this, you must first restart the Microsoft Word program after Font(s) installation.

Repeat Step 11 to Insert a Text Box above the Bunny.
