Office 2003 Clip Organiser

[Caz]

I'm having problems getting to my clipart. I have tried to organise the Clip
Organiser both automatically and on my own and put my previous office
clipart in it - but it just won't find it. So I unistalled office 2003 and
reinstalled 2000 and I had no trouble inserting clipart. Reinstalled Office
2003 and the problem is still there ie if I type in the word owl I should get
8 owls - I get 1 and that is from a game that is installed. Why won't Office
Clip Organiser find my office clipart?
I would really appreciate some help, I've spent ages on this and use clipart
alot. Thanks

The new Office Clip Organizer doesn't find all the keywords for the old
ClipArt, it only searches by filename. ClipArt has the most
un-user-friendly filenames ever, normally consisting of 2 letters followed
by a string of numbers. So if you search for that, you will find the right
keyword.
(It's called Clip Organizer - if you open it separately it will allow you to
organise your ClipArt, adding categories and keywords.)

If you go to Insert > Object, you might see Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0 or
similar listed. Double-click this and it will give you direct access to the
old Gallery.
