Hi everyone,

I have just built my first webpage using Word 97.
To spruce it up I have added 15 animated gifs at various points in the page.

However, after I view the page for a minute or so online some of the gifs stop moving or the whole lot grind to a halt.

I have used specific gifs several times in the page.
One animated line is repeated 3 times.
One animated line is repeated twice.
One pulsar (starburst) effect is repeated 9 times.
The rest of the gifs are just used once.
So is the slowdown caused by...

1. There is a limit to how many animated gifs you can use on one web page.

2. Asking too much of one gif file by repeating it on the page. If so, would making 9 copies of the file saved under different names and inserted into each of the 9 positions help.

3. Something else.

Any help would be appreciated as always.

Mike.
