I inserted a portrait into a Word file. It came out sideways. So I rotated it 90 degrees. Then Word chopped off the persons feet.

What to do?
 
Solution
I had this same behavior OSX Lion, Word 2011.

I solved it by right-clicking the rotated images and choosing Format Picture. In the Layout tab of the Format Picture dialogue, change Wrapping Style from In Line With Text to Square or Tight. The cropping bug goes away. (Of course, this being Word, will create a whole new set of layout problems, but at least the feet won't be cut off anymore.)
