Un-flip - Corrective flip for images when older version presentations are opened in PowerPoint 2002

Purpose: Corrective flip for images when older version presentations are opened in XP. The add-in will perform the task correctly provided the presentation opened has not been saved previously under XP. PowerPoint XP resets the flip values when a save is performed hence this fix works only for presentations which haven't been saved in PowerPoint XP.
