-- The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Publisher version 2.0 - Microsoft Special Occasions Design Pack - Microsoft StyleLine Design Pack - Microsoft Clipart Gallery version 1.0 - Microsoft Clipart Gallery version 2.0 --

SUMMARY

=
When you install Publisher 2.0, the Special Occasions Design Pack, or the StyleLine Design Pack, Setup adds entries to the [Import] section of the ARTGALRY.INI file. These entries allow the Microsoft ClipArt Gallery program to automatically register the clip art images that come with these products.

Each time you run ClipArt Gallery, the program checks the [Import] section of ARTGALRY.INI for new thumbnails to be added. The program looks for the specified .IDX and .THM files and merges the new .IDX files with ARTGALRY.IDX, merges the new .THM files with ARTGALRY.THM, and once these files are merged, the program deletes them.

If ClipArt Gallery can't find the files that are listed under the [Import] section, you will receive the message:

Sorry, the file \ cannot be read. This file may be installed incorrectly, someone may be editing this file, or  you may be having hardware problems.

If you choose OK, you will receive the message:

The ClipArt Gallery will not contain all of your new clip art.

NOTE: The Microsoft Publisher Design Pack 1.0 does not add lines to the ARTGALRY.INI file because it predates the release of Microsoft ClipArt Gallery.
