The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft PowerPoint for the Macintosh, version 4.0 == Microsoft ClipArt Gallery for the Macintosh, version 1.1 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you insert clipart from Microsoft ClipArt Gallery into a PowerPoint presentation, the clipart may appear with gaps or spaces in it. The same image may insert properly into a new PowerPoint presentation.

= CAUSE =

This problem can occur if there is some minor corruption in the PowerPoint presentation.

= RESOLUTION =

You can usually eliminate minor corruption from a presentation by recreating the presentation. To do so, follow these steps:

NOTE: In this example, the corrupted presentation is called Presentation 1.


 * 1) Start PowerPoint. On the File menu, click New.
 * 2) In the New Presentation dialog box, click to select the Template button, and then click OK.
 * 3) Click Presentation 1 and click the Apply button to apply it as a template.
 * 4) In the New Slide dialog box, click OK. You do not need to choose any particular AutoLayout.
 * 5) On the View menu, click Slide Sorter.
 * 6) Click the slide to select it.
 * 7) On the Edit menu, click Cut.
 * 8) On the Insert menu, click Slides From File.
 * 9) Click Presentation 1 and click the Insert button.
 * 10) Save the presentation.

This process creates a copy of the presentation and should eliminate the corruption. The clip art should now insert as expected.
