Animated clip art no longer Animated

JWster

Please make it so that one has the choice to make an animated clip art
"animated" in an email. Since I've installed Office 2007 animated clip art
is no longer animated and there is no way around this. One should have the
choice.

Thank you

I do send my emails in HTML using the method exactly as you described above.
The clips, or .gifs are never animated since using Outlook 2007. Does this
method work for you in 2007 and they are actually animated?

This is from Outlook's help

The animated graphic in my e-mail message doesn't work
Symptoms
When you receive an e-mail message that contains animated graphics, such as
animated .gif files, only a static image appears.

Cause
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 does not display animated graphics files in the
body of e-mail messages. Only the first frame of the animation appears.

Resolution
You can view the message in your Web browser to see the animation.

View an e-mail message in your Web browser
Open the message.
On the Message tab, in the Actions group, click Other Actions.
Click View in Browser.

Mary,

I know this is a year late, but I just don't think this response is
sufficient. It does nothing to explain why Microsoft has yet again removed a
feature that is taken for granted as much as spell check. Being able to view
your email as the sender intended should be a given. One shouldn't have to
open their emails in a separate application to enjoy what every other user in
older versions of Outlook and other email applications can enjoy natively.

Instead of a work around which really isn't a work around more like a cop
out. Why not just add the feature back in? Its things like this, along with
illogical and pointless alterations to the UI that keep people hesitant to
upgrade and purchase your products. When you are consistently showing people
that their next upgrade could cost them this feature or that feature, or be
so dramatically different; that your time is spent learning instead of
working you tend to be a little leery when the time comes for the next
"upgrade"

While I'm on my soap box, does Microsoft ever think to ask before yanking
features? I'm sure it would have been a resounding "KEEP IT" if you did.

I don't know if you guys are aware of this or not, but people don't want a
UI shock every time they "Upgrade" their software. I put upgrade in quotes
because things like this give me doubt that it really is an upgrade.

Thanks,
Tony Hicks

Hello Tony,

I am only a volunteer.

I suspect this change as with most HTML changes has to do with security.

You might want to consider a different email program or even Outlook Express.

I use animated gifs all the time. We are unable to use Flash and I send out
2 e-newsletters every month and rely on animated gifs for effects and real
estate issues.

Please request this feature to be enabled again!

Thanks,
Christine Ramdhani
