Insert Clip Art

[Helen]

Occasionally I receive the following msg when trying to insert a clip art
image:

"Word cannot obtain the data for the [document path] link."

I've tried closing Word; I've tried signing off (we're on a network).
Nothing consistently works to make the clip art accessible. But eventually
when I go back to the Insert | Picture | Clip Art and click on the image, it
will open just fine.

Any thoughts?

Your temporary cache maybe full. In Internet Explorer, tools, Internet Options,
delete files.

This didn't solve the problem. Any other ideas?

If it works sometimes it could be your Organizer needs compacting. Open the
Organizer from start, Microsoft Office Tools, when the Organizer opens, tools,
compact. Might do a detect and repair.

Is the clipart located on a network server or local Hard Drive?

If the clipart is on a server then the issue lies with the server connection
being interrupted or dropped intermittently and I doubt you will find a
permanent solution to fix the problem because it most likely related to
network traffic, which will vary based on network use by end users and
possibly external sources.

I tried this without success as well. Looks like Paul has it right about the
server issue. I'll talk w/my IT guy next time he's in the office. Thanks
for your help!
