Yeah seen that.  Amazing.  But nothing beats a web-published powerpoint
presentation though!

Those generated graphics - I thought you were talking about that feature
where you can put a bevel around an image in Frontpage and it remakes the
gif/jpeg then, or when you change the compression or such.  But yes - those
header graphics!!!  It would have been great if they would generate a new
image when you rescale it (but keep the original for future actions in the
vti folders for example), but I know of no html editor that does that.
