APPLIES TO


 * Microsoft Clip Gallery 5.0

-



This article was previously published under Q226612



SYMPTOMS
When you try to import a clip into one of Clip Gallery's specialty views, More AutoShapes, Motion Clips, or Audio Clips, and the clip you are attempting to import is not the same type of clip represented by the current specialty view, you will receive the following error message:

You cannot import this type of clip here.

Start a new Clip Gallery using CRTL+N and try importing to the new one instead.

For Example: If you attempt to insert a sound clip while you are in the More AutoShapes specialty view, you will receive this error.



CAUSE
Clip Gallery 5.0 has three specialty views - More AutoShapes, Motion Clips, Audio Clips. However, unless the clip you import is of the same format as the current specialty view, you will not be able to insert into that instance of Clip Gallery.



RESOLUTION
Either start a new instance of Clip Gallery, by pressing CTRL + N and import your clip into that instance, or start Clip Gallery from the Insert menu, by pointing to Picture then clicking on Clip Art. Once Clip Gallery is open, you can then import any clip you want.
