Transfer clipart from XP to Vista on same computer

P

Paul

I am going to create a new partition on my laptop and install Vista on it
(all my original beefs against it are no longer relevant). One of the things
I always hated about trying a new computer/OS is that I always have to
rebuild my clipart collection from scratch. OK I know I can always find it on
the MS Office site, but I'd rather just search for their stuff (that I've
already downloaded) on my own hard drive. Last time I tried to transfer
clipart that was already d/l, I got the graphics, but the keywords didn't
transfer over.

Is there a way to copy clipart and retain the keywords? For purposes of
space, eventually I will want to wipe out my XP partition (if I stay with
Vista) so I don't just want to point my clipart collection in Vista's
settings, to the pre-existing one.

I'm cross-posting this to microsoft.public.word.drawing.graphics, where
you're more likely to get an answer.

OK thanks I'll see if I can find that and bookmark it.

As long as you transfer your Mstore10.mgc file as well as the Organizer you
shouldn't have to reset the keywords. It is a hidden file.
Vista
C:\Users\<<user>>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Clip Organizer
XP
C:\Documents and Settings\<<user>>\Application Data\Microsoft\Clip Organizer

If you are using the Gallery (Office 2000 and below) be certain your .mmc files
are also copied.
