MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / March 2004Animated Gif doesn't work
Hello, I've downloaed an animated gif from the web, virus checked OK, then inserted it onto my Master Page. The thing just won't play though. I've activated it, set macro security to Medium, tried publishing to the web, but it still doesn't play. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it? Thanks Steve The use of the master page IS NOT supported in Publisher web publications. Delete the master page. Move the gif to a page and make sure it does not touch or overlap another object. Resave web.

Are you saying that animated gif's won't work on normal pages if I still have a master page? I rather wanted to keep the master page so that I can keep things like the heading info and navigation control table in a consistent place on every page. I appreciate your help on this.

Using a master page in a web publication can have unpredictable results in a number of areas since it's not supported. Based on testing I've done I recommend it not be used, I found undesirable results could vary from publish to publish. The method that should be used is that you insert a new page you use the copy from page x so that the page elements carry over. For existing pages you'll have to copy/paste thru them all.

David, Publisher (2003) doesn't seem to want to let me delete the master page. The option is greyed out. Any ideas? thanks Steve >-----Original Message----- >Using a master page in a web publication can have unpredictable results in a [quoted text clipped - 47 lines] > >. delete all objects on it.

Hi David, I think I must me missing something simple here and I'd really appreciate a bit more help ... I deleted all the objects on the master page but the option to "Ignore Master Page" is still greyed out. Anyway, I tried putting the animated GIF on the home page, and it still won't play. Thanks Steve >-----Original Message----- >delete all objects on it. [quoted text clipped - 72 lines] > >. All I can suggest is to send me the pub file for review.

I have found that if you are downloading a gif using either xp or win2k with any type of personal firewall that gif's loose there animation. I shut down my personal firewall and could then insert gif's -- Regards, Mick Gaffney mickgaffney@eircom.net webpage: http://members.lycos.co.uk/dublinspotter feedback: dublinspotter@ntlworld.com "Pilot wisdom - Every one already knows the definition of a good landing is one from which you can walk away.
