Adding clips manually to the Clip Organizer

Not all clips are picked up automatically during the cataloging process, and so you might need to manually add some clips. For example, the automatic cataloging process only looks for clips on your local hard disks, and you might want to catalog some clips in a network location.

Some earlier versions of Office stored the local collection of clip art in a different place. For example, Office XP stored this collection in Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Clipart\Catcat50. By default, the clip art in this old location does not appear in the collections for Office 2003 or 2007 applications. In addition, it is not detected by the automatic cataloging process. The only way to import it into the Clip Organizer is by manually cataloging it, as described here.

To manually add one or more clips, do the following:

  1. From the Clip Organizer window, choose File?Add Clips to Organizer?On My Own. The Add Clips to Organizer window appears.
  2. Navigate to the clips that you want to add. They can be in a local, network, or Internet location.
  3. Select the clips. To select more than one clip, hold down the Shift key to select a contiguous group or the Ctrl key to select a non-contiguous group.
  4. Click the Add To button. A list of the existing collections in the Clip Organizer appears, as shown in Figure 24-31.
  5. Select the collection in which you want to place the new clips, and click OK. If you would rather create a new clip collection, click My Collections and then click New. Type a name for the new collection and click OK. Then select the new folder on the list and click OK.
  6. Click the Add button. The Clip Organizer adds the clips to the specified collection.
