Extremely slow loading on cliparts in office 2003 .. WHY?

[rSpooky]

We are preparing an office 2003 setup at work to test and
learn about all the new changes. We have now a problem
where for instance with cliparts (and other import
files,pictures, souds etc) the waqit time is extremely
slow. This happens only when logged in to the network. If
we log in locally , the load times are next to not
excisiting. My theory is that for some reason , when
logged in office starts checkin gthe online profiles
rather then th elocally stored profiles. But I am clueless
as how to solve this problem. Does any one have any
suggestions?

Your correct and Office XP does this to. Office logs on to the online
gallery and downloads all the clipart etc. for the searched term. If you
scroll to the bottom the clipart there have a little world icon in the
corner indicating they are online files.
I've never bothered to figure out how to turn this off as I'm on broadband,
however I'm sure there is a way. Clippy could probably tell you how.
