Hello Chetan,

If you look for the thread "Using Microsoft on-line clipart in Word" in this
newsgroup earlier this month, you'll see a very comprehensive discussion.

I do have exactly the same problem here, with MSOffice 2004 in French.

Ok... Here is what I did...

1. After downloading the Clip Art from the MS Online site, I add
the .cil extension to the downloaded file.
2. Then imported the downloaded file from within the Clip Art Gallery
- Access the Clip Art Gallery by opening Word, Powerpoint etc and
navigate Insert > Picture > Clipart
3. Then import the remaned file and the ClipArt ois placed in the
Favourites folder...

Hope this helps...
