SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to insert a ClipArt Gallery image into a Microsoft Office
program (Word, PowerPoint, or Excel), the ClipArt image may not appear. The
exact behavior varies from program to program. After selecting the
thumbnail from the gallery, any one of the following symptoms may occur.
Word
The image does not appear and no message is displayed.
Excel
A blank object is displayed for the placeholder.
PowerPoint
A gray hashed box is displayed for the ClipArt object placeholder.
CAUSE
With some Power Macintosh computers, ClipArt Gallery does not function
correctly unless the Modern Memory Manager is enabled.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, open the Memory control Panel and enable the
Modern Memory Manager. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Control Panels on the Apple menu.
- Double-click the Memory control panel.
- In the Modern Memory Manager section, click On.
- Restart your computer for the change to take effect.
ClipArt will now import correctly into your Office program.
NOTE: Power Macintosh computers with the 603 processor (Performa 5200
and 6200 series) have the opposite problem, ClipArt objects will not
appear correctly unless the Modern Memory Manager is off. However, if you
are running the Macintosh Operating System (OS) version 7.6 or later,
Modern Memory Manager cannot be turned off. Therefore, to successfully
insert ClipArt images please obtain the ClipArt Gallery 1.1a Patch.
Microsoft has an Application Note available that includes the ClipArt
Gallery 1.1a patch to correct this problem. For information about obtaining
the patch, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
