FP2000: Only GIF and JPG Files are Valid Formats for Theme Images

ID: Q219609

The information in this article applies to:

SYMPTOMS

When you modify a theme in FrontPage, all picture formats appear when you are prompted to select an image.

When you attempt to select an image that is not a GIF or JPG, you receive the following message:

"<Path>\<Filename>" is an invalid graphics file format for themes. Valid graphics formats are GIF and JPG.
where <Path> is the path to your image file and <Filename> is the name of the image you chose.


CAUSE

You may only use GIF or JPG images when working with themes, because FrontPage will not convert these files into a web format.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.


MORE INFORMATION

All image formats are shown when you are prompted to choose an image for a theme.

Although all image formats are listed, only GIF and JPG images are valid, supported image formats to use in a theme.

To convert the file to GIF or JPG format, use an image editor, such as Microsoft Image Composer or Adobe Photoshop, or insert the image you want to use in a page and save the image out as either a GIF or JPG format.
