| Hey Trevor ... it's all cool. I'm just asking questions ... sure didn't
| want it to be interpreted as anything else. Everyone is so helpful and I
| appreciate all attempts to help me through some of the problems I encounter
| with FP. I was giving feedback on what I had tried after some suggestions.
| Frontpage sure can baffle me more than I'd like ... but it's all part of the
| learning curve. FP seems to behave differently than what I expect.
|
| I can't answer your blank file question. I heard of PictureIt ... a while
| back, but have never used it. I, too, would be curious to hear the answer.
| The question that pops into my mind is ... what size would the file be?
| Now, having said that, I recall a response where I think it was Thomas that
| said to insert the gif into Frontpage and check the properties of the image
| ... so I suppose that answers my question.

| | Thomas and Diana,
|
| I have no intention of joining a fight. I am just curious.
|
| I opened a blank file in PictureIt! and saved it in gif format. Would this
| be a transparent gif? It shows as completely blank
|
| Diana,
| I'll leave to Thomas to send you one
