Summary:

The Genigraphics clip art offer during the first quarter of 1990 was an offer of over 400 pieces of clip art. This clip art comes on disks as Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. To access the clip art, open the PowerPoint presentation and select the slide that contains the desired clip art. The clip art is object oriented, not bitmapped, so images retain their crispness if they are resized.

From February 15, 1990, through May 1, 1990, registered owners of PowerPoint were offered an update disk containing the clip art. This offer involved two disks:


 * 1) A disk named “Clip Art” that contains a folder named “Color Clip Art Files”
 * 2) Another disk named “Clip Art” that contains a folder named “More Clip Art Files”

More Information:

The following presentations are in the clip art folders. The clip art is located on the slides of the presentations and can be copied and pasted onto other slides.

In the folder named “Color Clip Art Files” on the Clip Art disk, the following presentations are found:


 * 1) Animals
 * 2) Architecture
 * 3) Business
 * 4) Education
 * 5) Entertainment
 * 6) Household
 * 7) Maps
 * 8) Sports
 * 9) Technical
 * 10) Transportation

In the folder named “More Clip Art Files” on the second Clip Art disk, the following presentations are found:


 * 1) Backgrounds
 * 2) People
 * 3) Presentation Helpers
 * 4) Scientific

The clip art on each presentation is described by the name of the presentation the clip art is on.

Note: Beginning March 15, 1990, Microsoft began building PowerPoint packages with the Genigraphics clip art. For more information, query on the following words:
