If you've never repaired disk permissions I'd recommend that you go ahead &
do so. It can't hurt anything & may help avoid issues in the future. It's a
standard procedure which should be done any time you install/update software
or the OS.
As for the Clip Art, if the only reason you thought you had a problem is
that you couldn't see it because you were in Draft or Outline View I'd ay
you're good to go

So then I no longer have a problem with my clipart? I don't need to do
"Repair Disk Permissions"? Everything is working like it should?

I haven't run Disk Utility-Repair Disk Permissions because when I go into
that file there are two things to choose from: 320.07 GB Hitachi HDT7...
or
Macintosh HD. Which one should I click on?
It doesn't matter -- Notice that the one is indented beneath the other...
They're both the same thing so select either one.
Also, I just discovered this
morning that if I'm in Word I can SEE the clips in "web layout" and
"print
layout" views but not in "draft" view or "outline" view.
That is typical behavior in Word -- Graphic object do not display in those
views. They're intended to expedite working with only the text content.
When I open Word,
it always opens in "draft" view.
When you launch Word it creates a new blank document based on the View you
were using when you last Quit the program.

Have you run Disk Utility - Repair Disk Permissions since
installing/updating Office? Do that, then shut down for a few minutes &
see
if the problem continues after you start up again.

Okay...wait a minute...I went back into Word and tried pasting those
clips
from favorites in and now it's not working. They don't work whether I
drag
them in or click "insert". All of a sudden they stopped working! I
just
found out I can open them in "Pages" but not in "Word". What happened?
:
IT WORKED!!!! HOORAY! Thank you very much!

OK, the details you've furnished indicate that .cil files - not
common
to
the Mac - are being associated with the wrong application [iPhoto].
Control/Right-Click one of the .cil files, select Get Info from the
shortcut
menu, the open the Open With section of the Get Info dialog box.
Select
Microsoft Clip Gallery.app from the dropdown list then click the
Change
All
button. See if that makes a difference.

I checked updates and it says it's updated. It says 12.2.0. The
first
thing
that happens when I try to insert clipart into a word document by
going
online I get the following message: "Safari can't verify the
identity
of
the
website 'services.office.microsoft.com'. You might be connecting to
a
website that is pretending to be 'services.office.microsoft.com',
which
could
put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to
connect
to
the
website anyway?" I always click "continue". It goes right into the
website.
I pick the clipart I want and download it. Once the .cil file is
downloaded,
I double-click on it. It then says "'ClipArt [CUBNX].cil' may be an
application. It was downloaded from the Internet and will be opened
by
iphoto. Are you sure you want to open it?" When I say "open" it
says
"Unreadable Files: The following file could not
be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
/Users/snakysmom/Downloads/ClipArt [CUBNX].cil. I'm doing
everything
right
according to all the articles. There is nothing in "favorites".
:
If you have just installed the trial it may need to be updated...
In
Word
go
to the Help menu & choose "Check for Updates" in order to get to
the
12.2.1
update level. Repair Disk Permissions after updating & restart the
Mac.
If you still have a problem reply with specific details of your
step-by-step
actions once the .cil file has been downloaded.

I just downloaded the 2008 Word for Mac trial. I like to download
clipart
from microsoft.com. Downloading works, but I am unable to open any
of
the
clipart. My computer says: "Unreadable Files: The following file
could
not
be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)" Most of the
files
have a .cil extension. Please help me open my clipart!
