I have selected a border in which I would like to insert some text. To give
an idea, i am making a booklet for a class reunion, would like the title
outlined in a nice scrolly border. How do I edit the clip art? I have
tried opening it in Paintbrush and MS Picture Manager. Thanks!

answers? when I click on the link i am not seeing what you might be
referring me to? Are there any ways to edit a clipart? Then once i edit
it with the text i want, I will then copy it into word.

What format is the the clipart? If it is a .wmf you can insert it into Word,
ungroup and manipulate. If the clip is .jpg or similar you can only edit it in a
photo editing program such as MS Paint. Do you have a draw program?

displaying as a black page. I will try to search for some clipart in .wmf
format.
Thanks Mary!

The link is for the Word Newsgroup.

Try using an image editor to prepare your graphic.

If you need an image editor...her are a couple of freebies:

Paint.NET

Serif PhotoPlus 6.0
