Animation Gif doesn't work with my outlook

Postby gaj » Thu May 08, 2008 6:19 pm

Downloaded your evaluation version. Created an email which I was able succesfully send between my emaoil accounts at home. Emailed one to my email account at work, which runs Outlook 2007 / Exchange Server SB2003. The email showed up with a static gif showing just the first picture. Do you know which settings have to be changed to see the animated gif?

Bad news, I'm afraid.
Microsoft no longer supports the anmation file format "GIF" in their new Office Suite. I have noticed it doesn't function in Outlook and I expect it won't function in Word either.

It was explained to me the Microsoft Office 2007 was designed with the business user in mind and this group suggested the functionality of "GIF's" and I am guessing "SWF's" and similar files be disabled.

Indeed not what I wanted to hear. I'll comment on the Microsoft website regarding this issue.

Thanks.
