How do I insert .gif file into a Word doc so it runs?

[Sunlover]

I have tried to Insert a .gif file using Picture/File/Object from the Insert
menu. Often I get the file copied to the Word doc but it does not run (i.e.
no movement).
Can anyone tell me how this is done as "Help" is not specific regarding .gif
files in particular?

Animated GIFs don't work in Word documents.

As Jez sez, no animation in Word (DOV)[1], but you can go to File>Web Page
Preview to view the doc in your Browser. The animation should perform there.

[1] New acronym: Depending On Version - I get soooo tired of typing that
phrase ;-)

Thanks for that Jez and Bob!!

Bob, you said "Word (DOV)".
I am using Micrisoft Office Word 2003 (11.5604.5606).
Is there a version of Word that I am able to use with .gif's or am I just
misinterpreting you? If there is, where can I get it?

Cheers,
Chris (Sunlover)

I footnoted the acronym and explained it at the end of my reply, & it
pertains to exactly what you *did* include in your second post but *didn't*
include in your first

I am using Micrisoft Office Word 2003 (11.5604.5606)

This information is always helpful when you ask for help!
