Hi Art,
Jim Gordon posted this once. I haven't tried it but it should work for you.
=========
You probably need to append the file extension .cil to the name of the
file that was downloaded from the Microsoft clip gallery web site.
Then double-click the .cil file while the clip gallery is open.
Those instructions are now over-precise.
The .cil comes along for the ride
You don't need a single Office program running before the double-click
works as described. Although you should be aware that it flings your
new clipart in the "Favorites" (sic) category.
If you get no joy from the double-click Art, select the download .cil
file in the Finder, do a get info, and ensure it says "Microsoft Clip
Gallery" under the "Open With" triangle. If it doesn't and you can't
force it in there from the list available, it is possible that
"Microsoft Clip Gallery" was not properly installed with the rest of
Office. It should be in /Applications/Microsoft 2004/Office/
For those of you who may be wondering how I know this. I did the
experiment to see if I could answer the post. I would *never* use the
clip art supplied with any application, especially Word, except for
ironic effect. Just take a look at the map of Australia on that web
site as a f'rinstance. They have got the whole of New Zealand parked
right off Bondi Beach. OK, I suspect there are more Kiwis in the
Eastern Suburbs of Sydney than there are in the whole South Island but
that is taking it *too* far.
PS Beth: I know I'll never convince you not to top post, but could you
possibly place your sig right at the bottom? You may not know that many
newsreaders, when preparing to reply, remove all text after the sig
separator. In this case, that meant all of the rest of the discussion
had to be cut and pasted from an earlier message. (Well I would have
had to if I needed it, which I didn't) ;-)
