MS Office Forum / Word / Graphics / May 2008Adding collections to Clip Organizer
On my old system, which had been upgraded from Office XP to Office 2003, I had access to the clip art from Office XP, which was on the CDs. There is a media catalog that allows you to preview the clips, and then you have to insert the CD to actually use them. If I search for "coffee," I get quite a few clips, including the coffee cup clip art I used at http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/BorderArt.htm. In my new system, with Office 2003 installed from scratch, a search for "coffee" gets me zilch unless I include the online clips (and even those don't include the one I want). I inspected the clips on my old machine to see where they were coming from and copied the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\MEDIA\CntCD1 folder (which contains the clip catalog) to the appropriate location on my new machine. But I haven't figured out any way to add this to the clip collections even when I explicitly select it. Do I need to install just the clipart from Office XP on this machine in order to have access to it?  SignatureSuzanne S.

Given the dearth of offline clip art in Word 2003/2007, I think I'll do this. Since I have MS Photo Editor installed, I'm already being nagged about Office XP updates, so this can't make matters any worse. SignatureSuzanne S.

This ultimately worked great--after I realized that the CD I had inserted (which gave an error message) was not the Media Content CD, which was inexplicably missing from the Office XP Small Business case. It occurred to me that I'd always kept it in the second CD drive of my old computer; sure enough, when I looked there, I found it, and it installed just as advertised, and I now have access to all the "lost" clip art. Thanks again! SignatureSuzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA > Hi Suzanne, > You can install the clipart from the XP disk. This article tells you how.
