Export or copy animated gifs

T

Thierry

I am trying to export all images out of PowerPoint (using the export
method on PowerPoint shapes).
However, animated gifs do not export right: they export as still
images (animation gets lost).
So I thought about using the copy method on animated gifs. copy method
seems to preserve all information (since when I paste the copied gif
into another presentation, it remains animated), BUT I do not know how
I can find this information inside the clipboard (where gif picture
gets copied).
Anybody could help ?
Thanks
Thierry

PS: I'm doing this on PPT XP, but a solution that works on 2003 would
be OK for me.

Using picture export retains the full GIF file. Are you right clicking and
selecting "Save as Picture"?

How are you determining that you are exporting still images? Try opening a new
presentation and inserting one of the GIF's that you don't think exported
correctly. Then press F5. Does the GIF animate?

Well, I thought there was something "off" in the problem description, but had
VBA been mentioned I would have gone running to the hinterlands.
