editing wmf clipart files

[sethirvine]

One of the great things about Office 2004 was the ability to ungroup
and manipulate the individual elements comprising a wmf image file, in
much the same way one would arrange the individual parts of a scalable
vector graphic. Unfortunately, since upgrading to 2008 this
functionality seems to have been lost. Right-clicking (ctrl-clicking)
the image brings up a dialog box that no longer includes the "edit..."
option and all of the ungroup options are grayed out. This is very
frustrating as I had come to use this feature quite heavily. Any help
or advice would be greatly appreciated.
