Downloaded clips

[Paul]

I recently down loaded clips from the Microsoft online site onto my computer;
after I downloaded the clips I can’t open them in PowerPoint why not? I’ve
office 2003 on my computer.

If you download the compressed file make sure you download the correct
format MPF for Clip Organizer then click on the file to import the clips
into Clip Organizer.

If you are using Clip Gallery you need the CIL format.

Control the things you can and Don't Worry about the things you can't
control.

In addition to Paul Ballou's advice, you should be aware that you cannot
actually *open* image files in PowerPoint; image files should open in image
editing software (PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, MS Picture Manager, etc). That
is, double-clicking on an image -- WMF, JPG, PNG, etc. -- or on the CIL/MPF
files themselves will not open the clipart files in PowerPoint.

To insert a clip onto a PowerPoint slide, use Insert/Picture/Clip Art.
