Hello,
I have created a letter size flyer in CorelDraw 11.  It has a black
background and has wording and my logo on it. AT this point everything
on the flyer is vector, (non moving).  In CorelDRaw, I can email out
this flyer direct from the program by selecting File>Send to>Mail.  At
this point, a "Convert to Bitmap" box appears, then after that another
box appears "Convert to Palatted", then after that, the Outlook
Express 6 "outgoing message" box appears, press send and "Presto", the
email sends and it looks good at the recipients end.
BUT, I've tried to import into the flyer "animated gifs i've
downloaded from the net.  They work fine when you select the
individual file in it's folder and rightmouse click to "preview" in
windows picture/fax viewer.  The Gifs rotate there.  When i Import
these gifs into the flyer they don't move anymore, and they don't move
when i send the new flyer embedded with them to the mail.  In Corel>
File> Publish To The Web> HTML, I have tried this method also.  Still,
the image is non-moving when you email it.  Can someone give me
detailed (step by step) instructions how to use Coreldraw/Corel Paint
11 to embed animated gifs from the point where I have my vector flyer
and now i'm
ready to add a few gifs to it to make it complete.  Do i have to
export this flyer into a third party program then add the gifs?

PS.  What colour palatte should i be using for the best "web" results
for my background.  I know cmyk is for output printing and the black
background looks faded when i used that palatte b4.  This time i used
RGB.  Black background seems to be "real" black on the screen.

Thanks, 
S. Keeley

Seems like CorelDraw11 doesn't support importing animated gifs. At
least, that was the word on the newsgroup re the version before yours.

...erk...

Couldn't find anything on Corel's website, but you could email support
and ask?

I would suggest dumping Corel Draw and switching over to Jasc's Paint
Shop Pro.  They include a feature in their software package called
"Animation Studio".  It's very easy to use and you should be able to
import your current Corel file directly into it.  You can download a
free, fully functional version of Paint Shop Pro at Jasc.com (only
good for 30 days).  This is what I use and it works well.

I'm a CorelDraw user myself and I believe CorelDraw doesn't support
this feature. I've tried making it work since I saw this question
posted. Once you import an animated GIF, it is automatically
transformed into layers of grouped images. And I think that even if
you do publish it to HTML, the end result is of course, an HTML file.
If so, it would be much easier for you to just use a program such as
MS Frontpage. With a true webpage layout program, inserting animated
GIF's is not a problem.

Thanks for your input on my Gif problem.  You guys have been a big
help.  I thought it was just me not being able to figure it out. I was
trying to make something work that isn't possible... although, you'd
think for a $500 program, it would come with all the bells and
whistles.  I'll give that Jasc Paint Program a try.  The features of
it look pretty good! and it's a fraction of Corel's Price.  I sent
Corel a complaint letter and told them to get with the times.  In this
day in age, people want to be able to send moving gifs around the
internet. And they claim they have the "elite" all-in-one graphics
program.   Thanks again folks.
