Animated Gif In Powerpoint 2007. You can insert a GIF file that is stored on your computer hard disk or in OneDrive. Different versions of PowerPoint respond to the loop flag in different ways.
Animated GIFs not playing in PowerPoint 2007. To use animated GIFs you must display your presentation in PowerPoint 2000 or later or in the PowerPoint 2003 Viewer. Drag it off to the desktop and there you go.
This will give you a non animated copy.
Select the slide that you want to add the animated GIF to. The same thing happens in Word 200720102013 and the fix is the same. Animated GIFs play 100 fine when imported into PowerPoint - however - when the PowerPoint presentation is closed and then re-opened the GIF loader is broken and only the first GIF frame will load. And that can be a bad thing.
