SUMMARY
If you download a clip from the Design Gallery Live site on the World Wide Web, it is downloaded as a .cil (Clip Gallery Package) file. This article explains how to use these files.



MORE INFORMATION
If you have Internet access, you can connect to a special site on the World Wide Web directly from Microsoft Clip Gallery. This site contains additional clip art that you can download.

Here's what happens when you select a piece of clip art to download:  Your Web Browser copies a file to your Internet cache directory. This file has a .cil extension. Your Web Browser runs the .cil file. This expands the clip art file and copies it to the following folder in Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98

C:\Windows\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Catalog\Downloaded Clips

or to the following folder in Microsoft Windows NT

C:\WINNT\Profiles\ \Application Data\Microsoft\Media Catalog\Downloaded Clips

where  is the name of your personal profile folder. Clip Gallery registers the new clip and adds the information about the clip to your primary .cag file

NOTE: If you have Microsoft Clip Gallery, you can run a .cil file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer. If you think you have downloaded a new clip but cannot find it in Clip Gallery, search for files with a .cil extension, and then run the appropriate file by double-clicking it.
