Oh! Gee, I didn't know that -- I'd read somewhere here along the way that, for whatever reason, PNG was supposed to be better in ebooks than GIF, so I converted what had been all my original GIFs to PNG format! That's easy enough to fix -- I think I may still have all my original GIF files, and if I don't, well, I have Photoshop (I may be just learning about designing ebooks, but if anyone needs help with how to do graphics stuff in Photoshop, just ask away!).

Thanks, Dale!

PS. On a TOTALLY unrelated note, this morning I was labelled in these forums as a "Zealot", and now I see that I've changed to a "Groupie" - where/how do these labels come from??? Is it automated, based on number of posts or something? Or is there someone "out there" who gives us these appellations? Just curious!
