I have saved some clipart from Microsoft in my clip art collection. I did
this by going to "Insert Clip Art" button on the toolbar. I did a search, it
brought up clipart, and I clicked on the arrow next to the thumbnail and
chose Make Available Offline (some of them also have Copy to Collection). I
chose where I wanted it saved to in my collection. It all worked great. My
question is how do I get these files to a different computer without having
to re-download them? Is there an export feature, or what files do I need to
copy in the file system?

Thanks!

Are you saying you did not download the clipart so it has not been categorized
and placed in the Organizer? If this is the case, a simple copy to the new
computer will suffice. If all your clipart is in the Organizer with keywords
then you need to move the catalog file. The catalog file is in a folder similar
to this: (hidden)
C:\Documents and Settings\>>user name<<\Application Data\Microsoft\Clip
Organizer

The file you want to move is Mstore10.mgc. I can't guarantee your results.

Yes I have downloaded the clip art fine. I just needed to copy the clip art
I downloaded to another computer. I copied the file you suggested just now
and I got part of the clip art...not all of it. My categories are all there
that I added, but it can't find all of the pictures that are in there. It
just shows me a graphic with the file name and a yellow X in the bottom left
corner. Any suggestions to get these files?

I assume the path has been broken. Can you drag the clips from where you
imported them to the folders? Open the Organizer from start, Microsoft Office
Tools, Microsoft Clip Organizer, file, Add Clips to Organizer... select whatever
method you want.
