Yes, but...
What I was suggesting was using the animated gif as a headline over a list
of links in a text box, or a list generated by inserting HTML code
fragments, depending on what you want to do. I use both in my site, but
before I give you examples, I would suggest you read David Bartosik's
section on building a site with multiple Publisher Files. I decided early on
that my site would be much easier to manage by doing this, and if you are
going to have a Products page that needs to be updated regularly, or an
individual product page, you might consider this.

On my home page I like to promote new sections or content in my site, and
under an animated GIF, which I use as a title, and within a text frame, I
just insert links to those new pages. I don't care that these links do not
open a new browser window as I am sending them to other sections of my site.
If you want to open a new window (a pop-up window) with information just
about one new product, or say an image, then you should probably use the
Insert HTML code fragment. Read David Bartosik's information on displaying
information in a small pre-configured pop-up window:
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=99
and
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=84
or just a new browser window on David's FAQ page:
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=30
And say that you have all your Products on one page, including the new
products, but you want the link to go directly to the text about a specific
new product, then read David's article about Bookmarking, and specifically
the READ HERE example:
http://www.publishermvps.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79
And finally, you CAN edit your HTML source code, though it is generally not
recommended because such manual edits are lost the next time the pub file is
modified and saved to html. I have a page of Favorite Links on my site where
I don't want to loose people by linking them to pages outside my site, so
after generating the HTML code from my Pub doc, I go to the Publisher web
publication file, open the page in IE, go to View > Source which opens in
Notepad, and manually add the code to open in a new window to each link, and
Save the changes. This is one of the few pages where I do this as I rarely
change this page which is a separate Pub file, and thus I don't have to go
back and do this each time when I change other sections of my site.
This is probably a whole lot more than you wanted to read, but I would
generally recommend that you read everything David Bartosik has written
about using Publisher for web design, under each version. When I first
started building my site with Pub 2000, I did this and answered questions
that I didn't even know to ask. It helped me avoid a lot of mistakes, and
saved a lot of time in building my site. Hope this helps. DavidF
