Adding old clipart from previous Publishers to Publisher 2003

[Jo Dude]

Hi

I installed a new Publisher - 2003 - on my computer. I had kept all my old
disks from Office 2000 with all the old clipart. However, the new Publisher
doesn't seem to have as nice a clipart gallery as my old version had, and I
had wanted to add all my clips to the newer version. Is this possible in a
way that Publisher will *automatically* setup all the old clips so that I
can easily search for the exact picture I am looking for, instead of having
to go through each clip manually by the very boring names such as clip1,
clip2, clip3 etc. (or however the clipart is installed)? I want to be able
to do a search (as I had done with my old version) for something such as
"Ladder" and find 20 results... rather than find it come up with one lonely
picture!

Any ideas? Thanks!

Jo

Do you have the Clip Gallery on your computer? You can install it as a standalone
from the 2000 Office disk.
Drag the CAG icon to your desktop and create a shortcut, you cannot insert from it
but you can drag and drop. It is in a folder similar to this:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Artgalry\
You also can use the Gallery by insert, object, scroll down to Microsoft Clip
Gallery.
The Organizer and Gallery are not compatible. If you want to use the old clipart in
the Organizer you will have to catalog and add keywords manually.
