setting office docs as desktop background??

[so007h5286 \(deletethis\)]

If anyone can help me....

I recently bought my girlfriend a compaq desktop, with
WinXPpro, Office2003pro, etc. for her birthday (later THIS
month!!).
I have created a little animated 'happy birthday' message
on the office facilities.
I am trying to save it as a desktop background, so it will
be there for her to see as she turns on the computer for
the first time....
It is currently saved as a ' .doc ' file and I've tried
every which way I can to use it as a background or theme
but it's having none of it and taking complete advantage
of my extremely limited computer knowledge!
Is it possible to achieve and if so how do I go about it?
Cheers, Sean

Backgrounds are either .jpg or .bmp (image files). Since you have a
something moving in your .doc file, I would imagine it to be an embedded
..giff file.

You might be better off (if you want the moving aspect) to see if it could
be saved as a screensaver somehow. Maybe search google for "making
screensaver."
