how did I loose my clip art from power point

[Guest]

I've gone onton my power point and it seems that all of my clip art that came
with my power point has vanished. I've used it to build dozens of
presentations but have no idea where it is now. Any ideas?

PastorD,
Are you saying you cannot insert any clipart anymore, or that you do not see
anything in the task pane, empty thumbnail boxes e.g. What version of PPT is
this?

Hey Luc:
What seems to have happened is that the thumbnails that come up for me to
choose and than insert a picture have been all but removed. There are still
some pictures but compared to the amount I did have it's like driving a Geo
instead of a Hummer. Any ideas what happened to all my pictures, clip art
etc?

Luc...also this is 2003 version...still fully working on my laptop but not on
my desk top...also the clipart works better when onlin with both desktop and
laptop...as I believe it pulls from online sources with msn office

Pastor D,
I am wondering if you restricted the search results at some point and never
undid the restriction. A number of things to check:
1) Make sure that "Search in:" says "All collections". If it doesn't, click
the drop down arrow and check the box for all collections.
2) Make sure that "Results should be:" says "All media types". If it
doesn't, click the drop down arrow and check the box for all media types.

Post back and let us know if either of these make a difference.

PastorD,
What Kathy said, and also have a look here: it seems that a good clean-up of
your temporary internet files can help.

I've got the same issue with PowerPoint 2003. One day all the clips are
searchable and the next, I get nothing found from the same search. Nothing
changed in my search argument at all.

Make sure you have an internet connection when you search, and also make
sure you haven't changed the settings to not search the online database.
