For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 194278.



SYMPTOMS
The popular clipart that is installed with Office 97 cannot be previewed in FrontPage Editor.



CAUSE
The popular clipart that is installed with Office 97 is in the Windows Metafile (WMF) format. FrontPage Editor can only display JPG and GIF images; it does not have the ability to display WMF files.



RESOLUTION
To insert the WMF files in FrontPage Editor, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Insert menu, click Image, and then click the Other Location tab.
 * 2) Click Browse, select the WMF file, and then click Open.

NOTE: Office 97 clipart is installed in the \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Clipart folder by default.



MORE INFORMATION
The most common image file formats for use on the Web are Graphics InterChange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG). Although some Web browsers do support some additional graphics formats, formats such as WMF are not widely supported. To ensure that visitors to your site can view your images, you should avoid using non-supported images on your Web pages.
