SYMPTOMS
When you click Picture on the Insert menu, you may notice the following behavior:


 * Clip art is missing as a menu selection.
 * Selecting Clipart brings up an empty Clipart Gallery.
 * Clip art pictures are not available from the Microsoft Office\Clipart folder. Note that there will be a shortcut in the Clipart folder to access the clip art files from the CD-ROM.



CAUSE
When you install Office or Word, you have a choice of the type of installation you want to use: Typical, Custom, or Run from CD-ROM. If you choose Run from CD-ROM or if you choose Custom and clear the Clipart or Popular Clipart check boxes, you will encounter one of the symptoms listed at the beginning of this article.
