If you decide not to add animation, save and you are done.
If you are choosing to add animation, save your tag a jpeg and open it in Animation shop (or merge all flatten in PSP, copy and paste in Animation shop). Edit/duplicate selected until you have 15 frames.
Open your animation in Animation shop, select all and edit/copy.
Minize and return to your tag and edit/select all. Then click the Propagate Paste Icon on your AS toolbar, it looks like 3 little pages.
Then edit/paste/into selected frame and click on your tag where you want your animation to start. You will see a small white splat of the first animation frame. I positioned mine under the F from the wordart.
View/Animation to see if you like the placement of your animation. If it isn't to your liking, edit/undo paste and redo the last step.
Save as gif.
I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial. Pls feel free to experiment and use my tutorial as a guide.
