SYMPTOMS

When you start ClipArt Gallery for the first time after installing PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0, there may not be any clip art to import into the ClipArt Gallery.

CAUSE

The probable cause is that you chose to run a Custom installation of PowerPoint 7.0 but did not select Clip Art as one of the components to install. Clip Art is not selected by default in the Custom installation.

NOTE: This behavior is different in PowerPoint 97. In PowerPoint 97 Setup, Clip Art is selected by default when you choose a Custom installation.

RESOLUTION

To install clip art, run a maintenance mode installation of PowerPoint for Windows 95 and select Clip Art. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Run the PowerPoint 7.0 Setup.
  2. Click Add/Remove.
  3. Highlight Shared Applications and click Change Option.
  4. Select the Clip Art check box.
  5. Click OK, click Continue, and allow Setup to run to completion.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. The Custom installation option allows you to choose whether to install each component of the program. In the Typical installation mode, Clip Art is selected by default because it assumes most users want some clip art.
