SUMMARY
Microsoft Office for Windows 95 installs version 2.0 of Microsoft ClipArt Gallery. Microsoft Office for Windows, versions 4.2 and 4.3 install Microsoft ClipArt Gallery version 1.1.

When you install Office for Windows 95 over a previous version of PowerPoint, your ClipArt gallery 1.1 index (the Artgalry.thm and Artgalry.idx files) should be merged with the ClipArt Gallery 2.0 index file (Artgalry.cag.)

If this merge does not occur, you can add the PowerPoint 4.0 clip art to a new gallery. To do this, you need the following:
 * For each category of PowerPoint 4.0 clip art, you must have three corresponding files ending with .pcs, .idx, and .thm in the same folder.
 * An entry for each category in the [IMPORT] section of the Artgalry.ini file located in your Windows folder.

To add the required files and create the required entries, run PowerPoint 4.0 Setup to install the clip art.



MORE INFORMATION
To install the clip art from PowerPoint 4.0 Setup, follow these steps:  Run Setup. For installation type, click Complete/Custom. Clear the check box for all components except the Clip Art Files. The cleared items are not installed.

When you clear Microsoft PowerPoint Program Files, the following message appears:

This component is a vital part of this application. If it is not installed, this application will not run correctly.

Ignore this message and click OK. Once you have only the Clip Art Files option selected, click continue. PowerPoint 4.0 Setup installs only the necessary clip art files to your system. The next time you run the ClipArt Gallery, you should be prompted to Add New Pictures</ol>

If you already have the necessary files on your computer or network, you may create entries in the Artgalry.ini file. When you start the ClipArt Gallery, it reads those entries and loads the images. <ol> Locate the Artgalry.ini file in your Windows folder.</li> Double-click Artgalry.ini to open it in Notepad. If you do not have an Artgalry.ini file, you may create one using Notepad.</li> Search for [IMPORT] in the file. If this section does not exist, type "[IMPORT]" (without the quotation marks) on a new line.</li>  Below [IMPORT], include one line for each ClipArt Gallery category as follows File1=, .idx, .thm,PowerPoint <desc.> where is the full path including the drive letter to the idx and thm files for the category; is the file name of those two files; and <desc.> is the description of the category as it appears in the ClipArt Gallery. Increment File1 so that the second line reads File2=, the third line reads File3=, and so forth. </li> Close the Artgalry.ini and save it to your Windows folder.</li> When you run ClipArt Gallery next, it prompts you to add the new pictures.</li></ol>
