Gif images do not display

B

Branch Whitney

Most of the gif images do not display after I publish
them. They display in FrontPage 2002, both in normal view
and preview modes. The image and appropriate page are on
the server. All my .jpg images display without problems.
Any ideas???? Thanks

just a few questions:

1) Have you opened the "web" (as in "frontpage page web"), not just a page.
2) Did you imported your images into the web then insert them, not just insert
the images into the pages from wherever they might be on your HDD (if not already
within an "images" directory within the web).
3) Are all the paths/directories correct.
4) Please provide the URL of your site so we can diagnose the problem further (if
the above suggestions don't help you).

Glad to find out others are having trouble with GIF, too.
I have encountered problems with GIF images quite a few times.
I often copy them off the web and want to paste them into my Word document.
Sometimes (not always) I only get the text but not the GIF image when I paste
an article I copied off the web into Word.
This problem amazed me because GIF is a file format Word can allegedly use
without separate graphics filter!

I cannot paste this GIF image into a Word document:

Whereas this one is no problem:

Does someone know how to solve this problem???
Thanks for your help!

Make sure you're actually selecting the image, then do a Save As. I had no trouble getting both of those images.

Occasionally you may run into an invisible image. Yes folks you actually can protect some images (but it's tricky to do) - and I rarely run into that...so you're probably just not clicking in the right place when you select the image.

Not sure how this relate to FP, but right click on the image, then select copy and save the image to
your desktop, then you can use it in Word.
