1. On the Insert menu, click Image.

2. In the Image dialog box, click "Select a file on your computer."

3. In the Select File dialog box, select the WMF File you want, and then

   click OK.

NOTE: Office 97 clipart is installed in the \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Clipart folder by default.

MORE INFORMATION

The most common image file formats for use on the Web are Graphics InterChange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG). Although some Web browsers do support some additional graphics formats, formats such as WMF are not widely supported. You should avoid using non-supported images on your Web pages.
