Notes

• If you turn on this advanced Web option, and you view a Web page in a browser that does not recognize graphics in VML format (such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or earlier), you will not see any graphics. Even though your graphics don't appear in a Web browser, you can always open your Web page in your Office application to edit the graphics.
• Before you send a file in HTML format as an e-mail message with the Web option Rely on VML for displaying graphics in browsers turned on, make sure that the recipient of your message can view the file in an e-mail system that recognizes graphics in VML format (such as Microsoft Outlook 2000 or later). Otherwise, recipients won't see any graphics in the e-mail message.
