Problem inserting .jpg document into Word for Office 365 home version

I insert a downloaded letter-sized .jpg file into Word (Office 365 home edition).  The file needs to be landscape orientation, so I rotate it in the download file location.  However, when I insert it in the Word document, it reverts to portrait orientation and is about half the size of the original file.  This means I again have to rotate the file in Word and then resize it, which is a hassle when inserting multiple .jpg files.  In Word 2010, after I rotate the document to landscape and hit insert, the file is inserted in landscape orientation and letter size--it's perfect!  Are there settings that I can change in the Word program?

Hello Judith,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Office Community.

I understand your concern and will assist you with this issue.

When you rotate a picture in Windows Explorer, only its view is changed. It doesn't make any change to the picture attribute. 

You may try the following steps and see if it helps.

1) Let's open the picture file in Paint, click on Rotate (select an angle as desired) and save it.

See the image below for reference.

2) Now once again try inserting the picture file and verify the result.

Hope it helps. Reply with the result and I'll be happy to help you further.

Thank you.
