Microsoft is sending its Office clip art to the digital beyond , where it shall rest in glory with Clippy, Zune, and the rest of the Redmond saints. In other words, those wonky, yet charming images that graced countless PowerPoint presentations are in their last days.
Microsoft already nixed the website where you could download Clip Art, so it may not be long before it disappears from Office entirely. The good news is that Office already has better options for spicing up your files than relying on the dated and questionable-looking Clip Art.
When you want to add an image to your file, head to the ribbon and click Insert , then Online Pictures. This is because Office users are more Internet-savvy and want to grab and use images from the Web immediately without having to store them for later use. You can download clip art images from Office. The downloaded images are then available for local offline , personal use.
I know you can download and insert clipart in the organizer - but i need a way to access my already existing clipart on our network - that is already in sub folders by catagory. I cannot even drag the folders in the clip organizer - it does not allow it - it only allows images not folders of images.
There is a setting in Word to point to a network clipart - but that never shows up anyhwhere when in the clip organizer. That is what I am trying to find out why office does not allow this when it appears ti should.
I too have been looking into this as i work in a enterprise environment with alot of notebooks and wireless activity, but unfortunately havent found many articles to do with Office , most appear to be previous versions of Office. I also have the same requirement from my customer. I develop templates in PowerPoint and the customer have a lot of transparent images that everyone need to access to.
I want to integrate a collection list in Clipart Gallery in a collection on the same level as Office and Web collections. You can insert images from your computer or search Microsoft's extensive selection of clip art to find the image you need. Once an image has been inserted, you can format text to wrap around the image. You can also click the drop-down arrow next to the image in the Clip Art pane to view more options.
To resize an image, click and drag one of the corner sizing handles. The image will change size while keeping the same proportions.
If you want to stretch it horizontally or vertically, you can use the side sizing handles. Thank you so much. I use insert pictures a lot and it has always bothered me to arrive at Pictures library. This will save me much time and aggro. Hi Allen Thanks for all these tips. Simple questions..
Can one have subdirectories in the Images location? Regards Roger. I changed it to Documents long ago because all of my graphics are kept in the same folders or sub-folders there as the docs I'm working on why would I keep them somewhere different??
I tried deleting the whole thing, but when I said OK, it stayed the original way. Apparently, once you've chosen a default file location for images in Word , you're stuck with it forever unless you want to choose some OTHER folder that you will be stuck with. This is sooooo silly. I'm sure that Word used to remember where I got things from.
Am I mis-remembering? Maybe that will work. This only helps with clipart. What about photos? I'm always having to navigate to the server folder I keep photos because Word goes to my Pictures folder. You can't simply delete the default image location, as you've found, Matti - you have to go into the Registry. I accidentally set my image location in Word to C:, and now I can't find any way to remove it. How exactly shall I proceed with "erase the Folder Name box in step 6"?
