where is "my collections"

[BK]

Using Office 2003

Went to insert \ picture \ clip art and found one I want to use. When I
right clicked the clip art and selected to "make it available offline," I
got a My collections folder structure into which I could save the clip art.

My only problem is that I cannot find that folder when I now want to insert
\ picture \ from file. Where is that folder along with all its subfolders
located??

Did you not get a dialogue when you selected "make it available offline?"
Usually the the pictures will go into My Collections or Microsoft Clip Organizer
downloaded clips. These folders are in My Pictures usually.
Select a new image and see where it goes when the dialogue message comes up.

Okay, I think I see where my problem might be. Let me work on this and get
back to you.

Okay, the mystery is beginning to get solved. To help me experiment, I put
an easily identifiable clipart into one of subfolders. Seems as though it
shows up in the DOWNLOADED CLIPS folder. So even though the subfolder
structure does not show up when I want to insert a picture from file and I
go to Microsoft Clip Organizer, all the clips from all the subfolders are
available. Available, just not organized by subfolder category.

Does that make sense???

If these subfolders mirror folders in the collection at large, you might
look for them there. I suspect the folders in the Downloaded Clips folder
are an artifact (similar to My Documents). Also, when you search for a given
file using the Clip Art task pane, if you use a search term that is one of
the keywords for the clip, Word should find it wherever it is.
