SYMPTOMS
When you click Picture on the Insert menu, you may notice the following
behavior:
- Clip art is missing as a menu selection.
- Selecting Clipart brings up an empty Clipart Gallery.
- Clip art pictures are not available from the Microsoft Office\Clipart
folder. Note that there will be a shortcut in the Clipart folder to
access the clip art files from the CD-ROM.
CAUSE
When you install Office or Word, you have a choice of the type of
installation you want to use: Typical, Custom, or Run from CD-ROM. If you

Popular Clipart check boxes, you will encounter one of the symptoms listed
at the beginning of this article.

To install Microsoft Clipart Extra
Use the following steps if you want to install the additional clip art
files to your local hard disk drive. This procedure adds up to 180
megabytes (MB) of additional clip art files to your drive. These clip art
files are available from the shortcut Clipart on the Office CD available in
the Clipart directory. The shortcut makes the clip art files available to
you, but it does not install the clip art files to your hard disk drive.
Method 1: Use the Control Panel to Run Clipart Setup

- Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
- From Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
- Click the Install/Uninstall tab, and then click Install.
- Follow the instructions in the Install Program wizard and click Next.
The Install Program should search for the drive containing the Setup
program. Click Browse.
- Change the Look In to the appropriate drive, if needed (for example,
D:). Then change to the Clipart folder. Double-click Setup (Setup.exe).
NOTE: The Office97 CD contains a special Setup program designed to ease the
process of adding all of the extra clip art available on the Office97 CD.
The following instructions pertain to the Microsoft Clipart Extra Setup
program. You will also need up to 180 MB of additional disk space to
install all of the extra clipart and multimedia files.
Method 2: Run Clipart Setup Directly from the CD
- Quit Word and Office.
- Insert the Office 97 CD in the disc drive.
- Click Start, and then click Run.

in the Setup program.
