Clip art question
When I insert most clip art, it asks for CD #2, which I put in and sometimes this works sometimes it doesn't (my computer is old and slowing down). That's not the question. Tonight, I was looking for large files, to see if I needed them (and could delete them) by putting large sizes (to find) in "find files and folders". It came up with one called "clip art". I tracked it down, it's in CPROGRAM FILES in the Microsoft Office folder. Of course I knew this folder was there because I have it installed, but didn't know (till tonight) apparently I installed the clip art without realizing it at some point. There's a folder in the Office one called CLIP ART. in it there are various folders, with names like corpbas, corpmm, Pub60Cor, Publisher (opening this, it has backgrounds)m etc. I can open the subfolders in Clip Art and there are hundreds (thousands?) of image files. Clicking on them (of course) opens the clip art image. I tried inserting clip art (I tried Word, it's faster opening, but I know Publisher uses clip art, too) it says it's on the CD and to put this in and try again. Or, to look elsewhere, so I browsed to C program files, the clip art, and it says it's not there (whatever clip art I picked to try). I tried it with several of the sub folders and it said the same. I tried insert from file (in Word) and browsed to the clip art folder and can click on an image file and it comes into Word. But, going by the code names/numbers, I would have to go through them all looking for the one I wanted. I tried this, by looking in Properties of the file and then trying to find it in the clip art files, but couldn't. Apparently I have the clip are in C PROGRAM FILES (MS Office) but it's not finding it when I click on a picture in the search box that comes up with "insert- from clip art" with the program open. Unless it's one of the few that happen to be there (not needing the CD) the insert the CD box comes up. I hope I'm explaining this so it's understandable. Apparently I have the clip are on my hardrive, but it's not getting found in the way it would from the CD. Maybe there's a setting to look on the C drive instead of the CD-ROM to find it? Thanks, Carrie |
