Thank you very much, Challa. I have one question. Your items 12 reads as
follows: "Select a file type from the Save as type list." What file type do
I choose for clip art and pictures?

Again, thank you very much. Your responses to questions are always so very
comprehensive. That's deeply appreciated.

Clipart files are GIF's

Office clipart files are stored in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\CLIPART
folder.

Just browse through them using your favorite graphics program and copy the
one(s) you want to your My Pictures folder.

Thank you very muich, Gord. I had no idea that those files were already on my
computer, nor did I know that clipart files were GIF's.
