Disabled Animations

Sometimes when you try to add certain animations you will find them disabled (greyed out). Usually this is because they are intended for TEXT.

If you have an autoshape that can contain text - NO PROBLEM.
Just type a space and all will be well.

Suppose though you want to apply a Flip animation to an image.

As you can see it's disabled and there's no way to add text to a picture!

There is an answer though! Insert a rectangle the same shape and add a space. Now fill the rectangle using a picture fill. Looks the same but now Flip is enabled!
