| 238656 | 2004-05-24 23:54:00 | Thanks for sorting that Robin. The link seems to have been resurrected if a bit slow to load initially. Beetle you may have more clips on your works CD than were loaded with the default installation. Pop the CD in and see if there are any options/additional features. Works BTW, is a trimmed down version of MS Office so you might not get the extra clips that can be loaded from the office CD. Cheers Murray P |

| 238658 | 2004-05-25 08:49:00 | In Word, when you go to Insert > Clip Art > select From File and browse to where you saved the new clipart. It should remember that location for the next time you want to insert clips. Cheers Murray P |

| 238660 | 2004-05-25 11:02:00 | I have all my clipart in a folder I created in the root directory called (surprise, surprise) Clipart, with a few subfolders as well. I don't have Office. My daughter's laptop has Office and IIRC her clipart is stored in ClipArtGallery, which may or may not have its own folder (I think it does, under \Windows). In her system, the graphics are not stored in individual files (ie 1 graphic, 1 file) but in 'envelopes' - one for each category (animals, people, transport etc). In my system I simply copy new files into an appropriate subfolder. In the ClipArtGallery system I think there is a special procedure for adding new files but IIRC if you look under Artgallery or Clipartgallery in Help it describes how to do it. You could try searching for a clipart folder by doing a Find for 1stplace.* or balloon (or balloons).*. These have been standard inclusions in clipart for years although they may have been superceded by now. The extensions used to be commonly .cgm or .wmf. If you have the ClipArtGallery system this probably won't work because Find probably can't penetrate the envelopes. However, even if you have the gallery system you can still create your own folder and store any downloaded files there and simply access that with whatever app you are using for your project and insert your pics.

| 238661 | 2004-05-25 11:26:00 | Hi Beetle. I too created a special folder e:\Clips. Subfolders are many and varied.... woodturning, quilting, family, friends, weekly walks, NZ scenery, funnies, outlook express, word, galleries, cartoons --- the more subfolders you have the easier it is to clasify and then find your graphics. It is easy to download from the camera to a new subfolder with this month's date - 2004May23- you never lose anything. It is then easy to later modify and clean up the photographs and drag and drop them in to an appropriate folder. |

| 238662 | 2004-05-26 04:55:00 | Yes, it's a good idea to put images into unique directories, but for the best long-term ease of use you have to call them, e.g., "20040523" . That way, you can have the directories sorted correctly. The names of months are not in alphabetic order. :_| It's necessary to use leading zeroes for the month and day, too: "05" rather than "5" | Graham L (2) | ||
