Re: Moving Personal Clipart Folder

Where are you copying the Clip Art to? Clip Art in Office 2008 is stored in
a different location than in prior versions.

Have you tried opening the original folder, selecting the images themselves
then pasting into 2008's Personal folder? That appears to work here.

I've copied the whole clip art folder located in the Media Folder under Office and moved it from one computer to the same place on my lap top. Then launched Word and attempted to insert a specific clip art into a document on the lap top without any luck. Nothing had changed.
The personal clip art folder in MS Office on both computers are the same.

Oh, hell... I've forgotten... You rename the Clip Art Clip Package database
file, I think. Then Office will rebuild the index on the destination
machine...

I think all Office applications must be quit before you rename the database.

Office should rebuild the database when you next open one of the
applications.

If it doesn't work, rename it back...

Hope this helps

I Have MS OFFICE 2008 on a MAC G5 Power PC and want to move my Personal Clp
Art Folder in MS Word to
my Laptop with an Intel Processor running OFFICE 2008 as well. The folder
moves just fine, but when I open up MS Word and attempt to insert some clip
art, none of the personal clip art shows up nor the new categories. So how
do
I do this without having to import each piece of clip art individually and
create new categories all over again?
Thanks for any help!

Thanks, but that didn't work. I even copied the whole clipart folder and that
didn't work either.
In Office 2004 (Word) and prior versions it was easy to transfer these things.
With Office 2008 it is not!
In any case, I thanks you, Mr. McGhie for your response!
