Design Gallery Live download problems

[kj]

Since MS redesigned the Design Gallery this year, I can't
download clipart into the correct directory.
The 'download clips' page tells you the files will be
downloaded into the "Application Data\Microsoft\Media
Catalog\Downloaded Clips" directory, but that hierarchy
doesn't exist on my system.

I used to be able to download clips from DGL a few short
months ago... now the darn clips download into my un-
used "My Download Files" folder. Anybody know where to
put these clips so they can be used? I'm on a Win 2000
system with MS Office 2000. thanks
email is hiss%yahoo.com

Hi K.J.,

If you're using 'save' rather than 'open'
from the download dialog from the MS Office Clipart
site (http://office.microsoft.com/downloads) then
the downloads will go into a folder in .CIL or .MPF
(graphic package set) format and you'll need to then
doubleclick on those files to add them to the gallery.

If you choose 'open' then the graphics should be added
to your MS Clipart app and the file location will
generally be the one mentioned under the user name.
