foreach (Shape s in document.Shapes)
{
 // Rotate a text box and resize a floating picture.
    if (s.TextBox == null)
    {
        s.ScaleX = 0.1f;
        s.ScaleY = 0.1f;
    }
    else
    {
        s.RotationAngle = 45;
    }
}

VB.NET

document.LoadDocument("FirstLook.docx", DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.DocumentFormat.OpenXml)
For Each s As Shape In document.Shapes
 ' Rotate a text box and resize a floating picture.
    If s.TextBox Is Nothing Then
        s.ScaleX = 0.1F
        s.ScaleY = 0.1F
    Else
        s.RotationAngle = 45
    End If
Next s
