Re: Anybody knows about animated gifs?

Thanks Andy,

I only discovered your reply today.

I am not actually trying to have Excel animate the image. All I want to do
is assemble the animated image parts in Excel,
save as gif and then display this image on the web. Unfortunately it does
not seem to preserve the animation since only the first frame is displayed.

Thanks again.
Milos.
