Notes

When you save the page, Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 prompts you to save embedded files to your Web site. Unless you specify otherwise, pictures that use 256 or fewer distinct colors are automatically converted to GIF (GIF: A graphics file format (.gif extension in Windows) used to display indexed-color graphics on the World Wide Web. It supports up to 256 colors and uses lossless compression, meaning that no image data is lost when the file is compressed.), while all other pictures are converted to JPEG (JPEG: A graphics file format (.jpg extension in Microsoft Windows) supported by many Web browsers that was developed for compressing and storing photographic images. It's best used for graphics with many colors, such as scanned photos.).
You can choose not to save the picture to your Web site by clicking Set Action in the Save Embedded Files dialog box, which appears when you save a page. For local files, a reference to the picture is created on your page. However, if the picture is removed from that location, you will no longer see the picture on your own page.
