SYMPTOMS
If you double-click a Clip image in the Clip Art placeholder on either the Text & Clip Art or Clip Art & Text layouts, no results are seen. You are not prompted to convert the clip image to PowerPoint drawing objects.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, ungroup a Clip image that is inserted into the Clip Art placeholder. To do this, follow these steps:  Right-click the clip image, and click Edit Picture. You will receive the following message:

"This is an imported picture, not a group. Convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing?"

Click Yes.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior differs from prior versions of Office in that once you insert a clip image into any Office application, it is treated as an imported picture, rather than as a Clip Gallery Clip image.

This behavior improves performance and allows for new features with Microsoft Clip Gallery.
