I have a long running macro in word. Is there a way to display an animated
GIF while the macro is running?
I am already setting Application.ScreenUpdating = False
in the begginning if the macro and Application.ScreenUpdating = true at
the end.

I am using Office 2003.

Thanks

Unfortunately, animated GIFs don't show any animation, either in the body of a
Word document or in an image control in a userform.

The article http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAProgressBar.htm shows
how to display an updating bar in a userform.
