creating your own autoshapes in Illustrator

[Christina]

I have a client asking me to create vector shapes (I will create them in
Illustrator CS2) that can be put in a specific "library" (could be an
autoshape or clipart) within PowerPoint for their company's use.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Just create the shapes in Illo and then File/Export and select WMF.

Thanks for the response Echo S, I guess I should be more specific. I do know
how to export to create the wmf. What do I do in PPT to create a library of
these symbols that will enable them to use them in the drop down (up) menu of
autoshapes or in the clipart directory?

Just create the shapes in Illo and then File/Export and select WMF.

Nothing. The users just need to add those clips to Clip Organizer/Gallery.

In 2002/2003, go to Insert/Picture/Clip Art to open the clip organizer task
pane. At the bottom of the pane, click Organize Clips. Then use File/Add
clips to organizer and navigate to your WMFs.
