I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2007. In 2003 when I chose the
Subject: "Meeting" as an example I would get 20 choices of ClipArt. Now I am
offered only 1 file. Same with all other catagories. No problem viewing
them, the number of offerings are greatly reduced form what I was used to in
2003. All ClipArt in 2003 was standard stuff, none of which I added, just
straight off of the install disc with which I was very pleased. Thanks for
any comments, Dave

Well Dave, Office 2003 didn't have a media disk, but Office XP did. I assume you
had/have the disk from Office 2002. All clipart in 2007 is downloaded from the
Office site.

Hi Dave--

The problem I'm having with Clip Art Images is that they installed Microsoft
XP Professional with Office 2003, here at work, and when I go to insert a
Clip Art image into a document or an e-mail, I used to be able to go up to
'Insert', 'Object', then a window would come up with a list of different
applications/programs, and included in this list was 'Microsoft Clip Art
Gallery', so when I clicked on that, it would open a whole group of different
Clip Art images that I had saved - it was sort of like a Clip Art File
so-to-say, kind of like the new 'Picture Manager', and each different
catagory had its own file, and you could go online and pick out different
clip art images that you like, and download them into this file, and when you
wanted to use them, you would just go into this file and click on the image
you wanted. Now, with Office 2003, I cannot even locate my old clips that I
had saved! When you go to 'Insert', 'Object', there is no longer a choice on
the list of programs you want, in this case 'Microsoft Clip Gallery', so now
you have to click on 'Insert', 'Picture', then go into 'Clip Art', and when
you do that, a whole different screen comes up, or, should I say, a sort of
half screen comes up on the side of my computer screen, and I cannot locate
all those clips that I loved and saved, which is pretty discouraging! Sorry
this is so long, but I was just wondering if anyone knows how I can retrieve
my Clip Art images from before

Patty, Sounds as though your temporary cache maybe full. In Internet Explorer,
tools, Internet Options, delete, delete files.
Your firewall could be a problem.

Hi Mary--

Thanks for the help - I'm not sure what happened to all my clip art images
that I had saved - but alot of them were the same style, you know what I
mean? And they have some really cute ones that are the same style, which I
saved a lot of these different ones - but, since this is something at my
workplace, I don't know if I should try to recover the old clips or not?? I
wouldn't even know how! But I did go into the Microsoft 'Picture Manager'
and after struggling with that for a while, some groups of pics finally came
up and the format was somewhat like the old way where each image was in a
group on the same screen after clicking on a particular category, but none of
them were the clips I had before - I keep thinking that when they installed
this new system, it cancelled out the old way of finding and saving clip art
images (??)

What version Office are you using? Office 2000 and below used the Clip Gallery.
Maybe this is what you are missing.

Hi--

Yes, we were using Office 2000 Professional before (I'm pretty sure) - I had
to make a flyer today, and it was harder using this new "Insert" "Picture"
feature instead of "Insert" "Object" which was so much easier and more
organized - would you know any way I could retrieve my clip art images from
before?

Thanks a LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could install the Clip Gallery from your Office disk. I can't guarantee it
will work. You use it by Insert, object, scroll down to the Microsoft Clip
Gallery.
