    4. If necessary, drag the image back onto the text area.

    The same directions work for an image. Treat it like the textbox.

    This works great with images, but does not work with Word shapes, even though they are graphical elements.

    Your method is much simpler with images, changing the rotation on the X axis by 180 degrees works on both.
