I've created an animated gif and inserted it into Powerpoint 2003 (I'm using a trial copy of this but it runs out soon and I can't upgrade till September) and it runs perfectly.However, when I insert the same animated gif into Powerpoint 2002 it only plays about one third of the full animation.Ive read through as many help pages as I can but can't find an answer to this except suggestions that it should in fact work in anything from 2000 onwards
Thanks .

Are both versions being run on the same system? If not, what are the
differences? What looping setting does the GIF contain?

Thanks for the reply
yes they are both on the same system.I used Ulead Gif animator to create the animation.There's no option on ths to play the loop only once-as far as I can see so IIserted the animation ,timed it and then used custom animation Appear to put a still image over the animated gif so it looked like part of the sequence.
Hope this info is useful.

Well, I'm not sure why you would get different results. If you want to send me
the GIF file, I could test it here, since I have PowerPoint 2002 and 2003. My
email address is sonia @ soniacoleman dot com. That's about the only way I can
think of to pin it down.

Is it possible that the still image is causing the problem? Have you tried
it without?
