Re: Animated GIFs in documentation

[Christine Frank <christinebfrank -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Oh, so good to know, thank you! I have Camtasia on order at the office but
thought there might be a shortcut, and I wanted to be able to resent an
alternative. When everyone was calling them GIFs, I thought there might be
something really simple that I was missing. And also since Ccmatasia has
its own extension, .cmt or something.

It's a government workplace, so things are moving very slowly. It's been
ordered for about 6 weeks now.

Thanks again,
Christine
