Discussion:
"Default" Clip Art?
(too old to reply)

IfWith the Office Professional 2007 software I have, there are only a few
objects of "default" clip art that came with Word 2007. Older verisons of
Word came with hoards of clip art!
Am I missing something? Does it have to be unlocked in order to be fully
accessable? If I have to download it from the MS website, I'd imagine there
is a "package" of it, so I do not have to pick and choose my way through 150,
000 pieces of clip art in order to get a decent clip art library into my Word
software!

Answers would be great! Thank you.

Office 2007 came with very little clipart, you aren't missing anything. What
version Office did you have before? Do you still have the clipart from a former
application? You can use the Clip Gallery as a standalone, just install it from
your Office disks. You can insert it from Office 2007, Insert, Object, scroll
down to Microsoft Clip Gallery. Or open the Gallery and drag the image into your
document.

Thanks Mary! You're quite the question-answerer I see from the other posts!!

I have Office 2007 Professional. (I bought it from my boss's wife for cheap-
she works at Microsoft!). The computer I bought in May of last year did not
come with MS Office darn it! Also, am not sure how I can make clip art a
stand-alone program. There aren't any clip art disks that came separate with
my 2007 Office software, just the Office set-up disk, and a Small Business
set up disk. All I know is when I want to insert clip art into Word, there
ain't squat to pick from, even though all the categories show like they used
to in older versions!
I tried to look on the MS website for a service pack of some sort to
download, that had more clip art in it, to no avail of course!

Thanks for you help Mary!

If you have Office XP (2002) it came with a Media Disk. Maybe a friend?
