I used to be able to click and drag the clip art from office onlne to the PPT
slide. Now I can't. I just upgraded to Windows 7.

I have the Template & Media control bar enabled. I also tried the activex
install vis this link: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/axinstall.aspx

That used to fix the issue in the past. Any ideas on how to fix this again?

Thanks

The third icon under every image is a copy option. This would be a solution
for you.

Thanks for the reply. That doesn't work for me either. When I click on the
copy button nothing happens. Any other ideas or things I can troubleshoot?

It all works as it should on my laptop that I also updated to Win 7, so I
suspect that it's an issue specific to the desktop.

FYI, I got it to work. Here's what I had to do.

1. I went into the control panel and add/delete programs. Selected the
Office installation and "change."

2. removed slip art organizer and the MS office download control.
3. When I checked the add ons in Explorer I noticed that the clip art
control was removed.
4. Then I just went back to the clip art page and that activated the activeX
installation.

Now it all works.

Thanks for all your help in the community, Mary. You're a blessing to
thousands.

Have you emptied your temporary cache? In Internet Explorer, tools, Internet
Options, delete.
