if the Windows Registry entries for the GIF import/export filter are

- In the Publisher startup dialog box, click the Blank Page tab and
then click the Web Page icon. Click OK.
- Draw a single text frame and type a few words into it.
- On the File menu, click Preview Web Site.
If you do not receive the error, replace the Gifimp32.flt file. If you
do receive the error, remove the Registry entries for the GIF filter
and reinstall Publisher.

the folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt

the following folder:
D:\Shared\Grphflt

Publisher Setup and clicking the Reinstall button in the
