Help about Microsoft PowerPoint -Reply

[Dan Lester]

I've not carefully checked that version of PowerPoint, but I'll
bet that MS, like many others, is moving away from .gif files
once and for all.  As many are aware, there is a significant
copyright and licensing issue here, and has been for a
couple of years since the status of the .gif format was
settled.  From what I can see, there is NO reason to not
convert all your web images to .jpg, since the last several
versions of all the browsers support them.  In addition, the
files are smaller and you don't have to worry about being
sued on licensing.  

I still have a couple of .gifs on some of my pages, but only
because I've not had time to convert them.  I sure don't put
any NEW ones on them.
