Insert gif files into spreadsheet
I am still trying to make gif files work in excel 2016. I have them inserted on an object (Shape that I created as a "viewscreen"), not in a cell. I have tried a solution from the techwalla website but can't make it work. I have included a screen print of the instructions and what I have done, including the VB error message. I believe that I followed the instructions correctly. Can anyone help?
I opened "Design Mode" on my own because the method in the instructions, the commands listed in the steps, are not found in my menus. Because of that, I still can't complete step 5, "Open the Microsoft Web Browser used to view & control the gifs". (Opening Edge or Internet Explorer doesn't seem to help anything.)
Hi - I have the same challenges with this - I was able to select the Microsoft Browser option, but when I went to draw the target frame and move on, I consistently got a "Cannot Insert Object" message!
By comparison, inserting a video playback frame (selecting the Windows Media Player object) was a piece of cake. I can't find anyone who has gotten past this point with the Browser option...seems like it should be a dead easy sort of well-established function, but something is definitely glitchy. I wish you luck too!
Same probelm with me. I have "Design mode" ("Modalità progettazione" in italian) blanked, in the "Development" ("Sviluppo") menu section.
I am getting mad at finding the trick to activate this... is this possible? I mean, it should be a piece of cake instead I lost hours from this morning....
