My Brother & his friend use a bright red background. Done completely in HTML, not Front Page, or any other Software.
I actually think that by saving this animated Clip-Art in a Word document along with other graphics for my possible use, that the images "frame" took the background of the Word document...White. I probably could've just inserted it into my Web page.
Where can I store these?
See Thomas A. Rowe's reply, about saving the image to my Desktop. What does he mean?
Thanks.

if it the animated .gif background isn't already transparent it would be a major pain to make it so - probably impossible unless you have copies of all the images used to create the animate gif in the first place.
what color was the page background on your brother's home page?

| I downloaded an animated GIF from ClipArt and stored it in a Word doc with other potential graphics for my use. When I inserted it on a FrontPage Web page, with a colored background, it appeared with the white block. The FrontPage image tools gray-out the transparency feature when I select this animated GIF.
| Meanwhile, I sent this animated GIF to my brother in an e-mail, from the same source. (copied and pasted onto my e-mail...no attachment). He selected and copied the image and filed it locally. Then they added the animated GIF to their small HTML (not FrontPage, or any other software) Home page. It comes up without the white block ??? Why ?
