SUMMARY
If you double-click one of the clip art files supplied with Word for the Macintosh (located in the Clip Art folder in the Word program folder), the computer beeps and the following error message occurs:

TeachText cannot display this kind of document.



MORE INFORMATION
The clip art files supplied with Word for the Macintosh 6.0 are not TeachText documents, although they appear on the desktop as a TeachText icon. These files are color PICT files, the native Macintosh color graphics format. Rebuilding the desktop does not change the icon.

To use the clip art files supplied with Word, open them in Word using the Picture command on the Insert menu.

This behavior does not occur in versions of the Apple Macintosh Operating System 7.5 and later. A new version of the text utility, known as SimpleText, is not only the text viewer but also the default color PICT viewer for the Macintosh operating system. When you double-click a PICT image in System 7.5 of later, the file will be opened correctly in Simple Text for viewing only.
