OK, this is why I seldom use any of MS's "features".
While making a Word doc for something, I went to add some
clip-art.
I got the dialogue box asking if I wanted the Clip
Organizer to Catalog my clip-art.
I figured: "what the heck, it will index my clips and
I'll just use this to easily find clip-art in Word or
PPT."
Cripes. Was I ever wrong.
The "Organizer" catalogued not only clip-art, but every
last jpg, mp3, gif, tiff, on and on and on.
That's like 120,000 friggin' files on my system. Talk
about overkill.
I now have two issues:
1) The catalog is pathetically slow to load and search.
It's more useless than the way I used to manually
navigate my file system.
2) In Word: Under the "Insert" menu item, the "Picture >
From File..." function is now DISABLED!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't even navigate to the file I need, much less use
the "Organizer" to get to it...
What I want to do:
1) REVERT my Office XP suite to the way it was before
this cataloging screwed it up.
(In other words- I want to be able to "Picture > From
File..." again.)
2) PREVENT the Clip Organizer from running again.
(Or at least make it shut up so it doesn't bug me
when I go to insert clip-art)
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
