CG5: Cannot Drag Clip Onto PowerPoint Slide When Using ClipArt Placeholder

ID: Q226640

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you open the Microsoft Clip Gallery by double-clicking the ClipArt placeholder on the Clip Art & Text or Text & Clip Art PowerPoint slide layouts, you will not be able to drag a clip image from the Clip Gallery to the slide. Instead, your pointer will change to the Not symbol when you drag a clip over the presentation.

CAUSE

When Clip Gallery is started from a PowerPoint ClipArt placeholder, you can only use the Insert button to insert a clip to the placeholder.

WORKAROUND

If you want to use the drag and drop technique to move a clip image to a slide, you can start Clip Gallery 5.0 by using one of the following commands:

Click the Clip Gallery button located on the Drawing tool bar.

On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and click Clip Gallery.
