Small rotating of images in Fireworks

I want to rotate an image in fireworks less than 90 degrees.

The way the tutorials tell me to do this is by using the free transform menu/tool. ie get hold of the picture, go to one of the corners and just above the corner is a rotate icon. Grab hold of that and rotate the image.

All well and good but when I do this the rotation increments seem to be quite large (I'm guessing about 15 degrees) so in otherwords rather than being able to rotate an image ever so slightly so it lines up, I am either rotating an image too far or too little and there doesn't seem to be a way of getting it dead right. I don't think this is just because I do not have a light enough touch on the mouse- it feels like the tool only allows certain increments for the rotation.

Is this a problem with the program or am I doing something wrong?

    It's either numerically or Free Transform where you do it visually with the little circular arrow:-)

    Thanks again for your help in taking the time to reply- much appreciated.

    I suspect I am using the wrong software for what I want it to do as I've had a few other problems!

    Select the image and go to Modify|Transform|Numeric Transform

    In the drop down select Rotate

    Enter your degree

    Many thanks for that- not ideal as it means you have to do it numerically rather than using your eyes so probably quite a bit of trial and error involved in case someone knows otherwise.
