OFFICE: Microsoft Word Clipart Not Added to ClipArt Gallery

• Microsoft Office for Windows NT, version 4.2

SUMMARY

When you insert a ClipArt Gallery object in a document, after installing Microsoft Office, the Microsoft Word clipart is not added to the ClipArt Gallery.

CAUSE

Microsoft Office version 4.2 for Windows NT does not ship with an integrated Setup program. You install each of the Microsoft Office applications by running the individual Setup program for that application. Because there is no integrated Setup program, Microsoft Office for Windows NT does not ship with an index (.IDX) file for the Microsoft Word clipart, and the clipart is not automatically added to the ClipArt Gallery.

WORKAROUND

To add the Microsoft Word clipart to the ClipArt Gallery, do the following:

1. In a new document in one of the Microsoft Office applications, such as Microsoft Word, choose Object from the Insert menu.



2. Select the Create New tab, and from the Object Type list, select Microsoft ClipArt Gallery. Choose OK.



3. In the ClipArt Gallery, choose the Options button. In the Options dialog box, choose Add.



4. From the Directories list, select the CLIPART subdirectory of the Microsoft Word directory and choose OK.



5. From the Picture Name list, select the clipart file that you want to add, or choose the Select All button to add all of the clipart files in the CLIPART directory. Choose OK.

MORE INFORMATION
