Troubleshoot Web animations and graphics

My picture isn't animated

Microsoft Publisher does not display animation when you add an animated picture to a Web page. You see the animation when you preview your Web page in a browser.

If your picture is not animated in the browser, it might be due to the following causes:

• You might have added a file that has lost its animated properties because of the method you used to place it initially in your Web page (for example, using the Copy and Paste commands). Find the original file and insert it using the Insert menu.
  
  Once an animated picture is in Publisher, you can copy and paste it from one place to another.
• You might have rotated the picture, which disables the animation.

The quality of my graphic is poor

If you inserted a JPEG file in your publication and it is part of a group of overlapping objects, Microsoft Publisher exports the graphic by using the GIF file format, which can reduce the quality of the graphic. To keep the file in the JPEG format when you save your Web publication, rearrange your graphic so it doesn't overlap anything.
