110587 2003-01-02 21:00:00 It is a mystery to me.
Lots of stuff on the net but I can not find how to down load it and paste it to say an e-mail or word processor page.
There is something about 'gif files' and such 'save as.... ' ? I cant get them to work. I have windows me.
is there a simple, easy, piece of cake, way of doing it.
Some instructions are very complicated (for me)
I would just like to put a 'funny icon thingie' on the bottom of an e-mail or letter. word processor.

110588 2003-01-02 21:23:00 When you find some clipart that you want to download, just right click over the image and select "save picture as". Under save in: dialog box, click the down arrow and locate your My Pictures folder under found in My Documents and click save.

When you want to insert your image into a document just go Insert > Picture > from file, and then browse to your My Pictures folder and select the image you want to insert.

You can create a new folder for the clipart images instead of using My Pictures if you wish. To do this, go into My Documents and then click on File > New > Folder. You could then call this folder "My clipart" or whatever.

Post back if you need more instructions

110589 2003-01-02 21:41:00 Further information:

Depending on your Word Program Version you can also download clip art from the Microsoft Design Gallery that will add the art to your clipart folder on your computer automatically .

First connect to the internet and then open up Word, Insert > Picture > Clip Art . Click on the "Clips Online" button which will take you to Microsoft Design GalleryLive . Have a search for what clips you would like and select them (try not to do more than 10 at a time or the file will be too big)

The following is instructions from the website:

To download clips from the download page:

Select the check box under each clip you want to download .

1 Click Download N Clips in the upper-left corner of the clips screen to open the download page .

2 Review the information and download time for the clips, and go to the Selection Basket if you want to make any changes .

3 Click Download Now! on the download page . If prompted, choose to open the file or run the program from its current location instead of saving it to disk .

4 Design Gallery Live downloads and installs the selected clips into the Clip Gallery or Clip Organizer program on your computer .



The important step using this site is not to select the Save option this time .

110591 2003-01-05 07:07:00 Another quick way to try, especially if you are not wanting to store the clipart, is to right click it, then select copy....now you have a copy on your clipboard...go to the document or email you want to add it to and "paste" Gill (1530)
