Once I gave up the idea of using a gif file, I was able to do it very easily through windows media player. Thanks to all of you for your help! Have a great weekend!

I save the power point presentation as a gif, then open it as layers in gimp. Once I save the presentation again, it works well, but the timings I had set in power point are gone. I cannot find a "delay time" button nor can I find a way to use the "frames" to get the slides to the different timings I need. I also occasionally have resolution problems when I open the presentation in gimp and again as I save them to a gif after I am finished in gimp. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you! Animated GIF is not a good format for this: * it won't adapt to the user's screen definition, you'll have to use a lowest common denominator * due to the small number of available colors edges of text and diagrams will look pixellated * it won't adapt to your user's reading speed Why don't you convert your PPT to PDF instead? ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2015 22:04:45 +0000 From: Pat David <patda...@gmail.com> To: ofn...@gmx.com, gimp-user-list@gnome.org Subject: Re: [Gimp-user] New User Questions Message-ID: <CAPC+-kmZhkT=3tuLHg-MNwPMrv=ckvunn9quey_4nevgy4o...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Or even to HTML - I think there is an export option in powerpoint to generate an html page directly...
