Greetings:
I haven't done so for years, but recently I tried to inert an animated GIF into my Writer documents (Mac 3.00 and up under 10.4.11) and found out that it doesn't actually embed self-contained media files in the document anymore like the old versions did, but instead relies on media links which really don't do the job if you're e-mailing a media-embedded doc off to someone else, naturally breaking off the link to the original media files in your machine. Inserting animated GIFs (if not mov.) files worked just fine under 10.3.9 with the older OOo 2.0 and such back when, so I tried using OOo 2.00 on my Panther partition to resurrect the capability, but now for some reason it balks, stating that it can't take the file formats when long ago it happily ate animated GIFs embedded them in the docs as one. I don't know if it's a Java thing or what. It's really frustrating to "play" my old docs with self-contained embedded animated GIFs in the OOo but can't create the same anymore. Any hints would be much appreciated!
