SYMPTOMS

After you convert a GIF image to a JPEG and save the page, the image does not appear when you preview it in your Web browser. The image may appear as a broken link, or may not appear at all.

If you look at the location you saved the image, the image is still in the GIF format.


CAUSE

If you modify other properties of the image, such as the size, before you click OK to apply the changes to the object, the image is converted to JPEG format, but the file name stays a GIF.
