How to Resize GIFs in Webworks Professional 2003 for Framemaker

["T. Word Smith" <techwordsmith -at- yahoo -dot- com>]

I have some recommendations:

1) Checkout http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wwp-users.
This question is pretty tool specific.

2) HTML doesn't use resolution. In converting your
non-Web-ready or manipulated image, WWP does print
your graphic via PostScript ....

3) Checkout the graphics macros (Style > Designer >
Graphics). You can modify the default macro, which
will let you do thumbnails or resize the output, or
you can create your own graphics macros and apply them
by using GraphicStyle markers in FrameMaker.

4) I am otherwise unsure what you are doing. I have
not seen your post on the Yahoo group, maybe you
missed it in your Internet search.

5) Resizing rasters always degrades quality if you
delete pixels; always. Better to create the original
with your output in mind.
