I am using Word 2000, trying to import clip art. No problem importing clip
of the day, but to import a chosen cilp I get the following error message:
"You have attempted to import an unsupported clip type. No thumbnail can be
generated," and then it won't load the clipart. I can download it to the
basket, then when the program asks me to open it, that's when I get the error
message. Hope you can help, thanks.

Maybe you could copy/paste the
clip to your desktop and try to use
it from there?

The clipart picture won't let me right click and copy or save as.

Actually the clipart let me drag and drop onto the desktop, then I could
access it easily. Thanks for the help.
