Hi all

Thanks for the info bob, but like Rory I just can't download any
Microsoft clip art, and as I have lost (Somewhere) all the stuff I did
have with my Office 2004 I am getting a bit sad. :-((
I am running Office 12.0.1, on Leopard MacOS 10.5.2 on a dual G5
machine.
As always I find the Clipart I need on the Microsoft website through
Insert Clipart - Online... then download the file, double click and
then I get an error, if I try and open the .cil file twice the Clipart
program quits, sends me a window asking if I want to report the
problem etc, then of course I can't restart clipart as it can only be
started from inside Office.

Two big questions - where is my clipart from before? and if I find it
can I use it? - i still have the OfficeX disc and have tried importing
from that but no use 'cause it tells me that this type of file is not
recognized by 2008! now that's nice.

I have tried Control; clicking as suggested and still no joy, I am
using ClipGallery 12.0.0

Interestingly I noticed that the error message always comes up with
Failed to open XXXXXXX.wmf where as the file in my clipart gallery is
XXXXpng - Has this any bearing?
I
I am struggling now,
Any advice?

Steve

I am encountring the same problem! i Just bought Office 2008 and am
not able to use any of the online clip art! Whats the deal?

When i download the clipart from the website, it saves as a file named
clipart in my downloads folder. Opening this file launches clip art
gallery, but it gives an error message saying that it can only be
launched from within office!

However, trying to import the file in clip art gallery once launched
from office is impossible as it does not recognize it.

Can anyone confirm that they have been able to use this feature in
office 2008???
