Clip Art

[Guest]

When using Office 97 I downloaded several clipart galleries from the
internet. Now that I up graded to Office XP I can not seem to import those
gallaries. Any ideas?

Office XP uses Clip Organizer and the MPF format
Office 97 uses Clip Gallery and the CIL Format

You can import Clip Gallery clips however, If you import clips into Clip
Organizer you need to add keywords manually for the clips to searchable. To
use clipart from Clip Gallery the easiest solution is to use your old Office
CD and do a custom setup to install just Clip Gallery. To use Clip Gallery
in 2003 Go Insert | Object | choose Microsoft Clip Gallery from the list to
launch Clip Gallery

Life would be easier if we could view the source code

So, if I added clipart with the CIL format that is not on my Office 97 cd,
can I still import them into the Clip Organizer?

You can import all Clip Gallery images or other images that are already on
your computer into Clip Organizer but you will need to manually added
keywords. I recommend doing a custom install with your Office 97 CD and
install just Clip Gallery and use it along with Clip Organizer.
