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 |

Clip art question
Open the Clip Gallery, Import Clips, files of type, scroll down to "Clip Gallery
Catalogs", in the "look in" browse to the files. Do this for each folder of Clip Art in your program files. The Gallery has its own help, look at the entry, cannot locate clip... -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Carrie" wrote in message ...

Clip art question
Thanks, Mary I'm amazed you even knew what I was asking about (LOL)
In the next few weeks I am planning on getting a new computer (etc) though I'll still be using Office 2000 (as far as I know) I anticipate having more power, space, memory will help with some of my Publisher problems. I know someone told me here (and I'll find it again) how to save the clip art on the harddrive from the CD, but at the time I didn't have enough hd space I wanted to tie up with this. Apparently, I saved it at some point without realizing it. I learn so much from this group, at times I'm even aware of how much I now know, I didn't a short time ago. ~ Carrie "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
