Is there a way to determine whether a GIF picture embedded in a
powerpoint slide is animated or not?
Thanks.

Start the slide show and see if it wiggles on screen? ;-)
Something tells me your question is deeper than that and deserves a better
answer, but we'll need more details.

Run the slide show. If it's animated and you're using 2000 or higher, it'll
play.

The background of my question was that, using automation, I want to
decrease the size of ppt files by copying all pictures into the
clipboard and re-insterting them to their original location by "paste as
JPG". I observed that this procedure converts them to JPG and also
rescales them to the new size.
Of course, animated GIF images cannot be processed this way. Therefore,
I need to determine somehow by automation if a picture is an animated
GIF or not.

Unlikely sounding and unquestionably a horrid kluge but in 2000, you can look
at the Crop button on the Drawing toolbar when the image is selected; it'll be
disabled if the image is an animated gif.
Not so in 2002 and later; I don't know of any reliable way to determine this
there.
