Is there any way of importing a GIF into Ovation Pro? Or of converting
a GIF to a JPEG? TIA.
On RISC OS, if you install TransFSI which comes with OP then that should handle GIFs transparently - i.e. just drag and drop GIF into OP frame. 

On Windows there is a filter supplied that does the same job.
I'd say converting to JPEG is not a good idea - because GIFs have 8 bits per pixel or less of colour information whilst JPEGs have 24 the image might well take up more space as JPEG, and there is the distinct possibility of it looking worse.
