How do I copy clips to document using office 2007?

H

I just downloaded office 2007 onto Windows Vista. I cannot copy clipart from
office online into a document. I get the message that the item is not
collected because the format is not supported by office clipboard. If I copy
and paste it to the clipboard, the picture does not import, only the icon I
clicked appears. I've never had a problem transferring clip art into a
document. Please help.

If you're trying to get clip art from the Clip Art Gallery online, the
proper procedure is to check it for download. It will be automatically
downloaded to the correct location, whence you can insert it using Insert |
Illustrations | Clip Art. I see that there is a "Copy to Clipboard" option,
and this does seem to work (at least I can then paste using Ctrl+V). This
seems to be only on the Windows Clipboard, however, not the Office
Clipboard.
