In order to see animated GIFs in Word, you must save the document as a Web
page and view it in your browser.

Hey Jay!
If Word does not support animated Gif's then why does the help file tell one
to:
Select the animated GIF file, and then on the View menu, click
Preview/Properties?
(Not that this works 'cos Preview/Properties does not exist).
So, who is telling porkies?
I just want it to work.
All the best

You can insert an animated GIF into a Word file. But the only way you'll see the
animation is to save the document as a web page and view it in a web browser.

Don't trust everything you read in the help file... some things in there may be
true only under certain circumstances, but the help omits the limitations; and a
few things are simply wrong, maybe because the help had to be written long
before the features were finalized.
