I realize this is a tricky problem to explain. I've taken a bunch of pictures with an iphone in jpg format. When I look at them in Windows Explorer as 'Large Images', the vertical ones are displaying vertical and the horizontal ones appear horizontal.

I have several 'Photo Layout' tables saved in a word document. They are regular tables, and I place my cursor in the cell in the word document. Then I click the mouse on the photo in Windows Explorer and drag the photo in to the cell. Then I size the image to the cell size.

When I drag in horizontal photos from Windows Explorer, there is no problem. When I drag vertical photos, instead of appearing as vertical, they show up as horizontal (wrong orientation) once dragged into the Word table. At that point, I have to manually rotate the photos back to their vertical orientation, and doing that changes their format to no longer in line with text and I lose the ability to apply some formatting options.

I'm trying to figure out why some of my vertical photos drag in this way (with the wrong rotation for vertical photos) and whether there's a way to prevent that in Word so that I don't have to manually rotate each one.

'Insert Picture' in the Illustrations group has the same problem as dragging and dropping with rotation.
