Problem adding Office 4.3 Clip Art to Office 95
Keith Taylor
Having a new PC is ok but this one has Office 95 and I was happy with
Office 4.3. With Office 95 much of the ClipArt appears to be missing.
How can I get it back? I have copies of various old *.PCS files, but
PowerPoint for Win95 does not see them.
Thanks for any help.

The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0
- Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.0a, 4.0c
------------------------------------------- -------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
Microsoft Office 97 for Windows installs version 3.0 of Microsoft Clip
Gallery. Microsoft Office for Windows 95 installs version 2.0 of
Microsoft ClipArt Gallery. Microsoft Office for Windows, versions 4.2
and 4.3 install version 1.1 of Microsoft ClipArt Gallery.
When you install Office for Windows 95 or Office 97 over a previous
version of PowerPoint, your ClipArt gallery 1.1 index (the files
Artgalry.thm and Artgalry.idx) should be merged with the ClipArt
Gallery 2.0 or Clip Gallery 3.0 index file (Artgalry.cag.)
If this merge does not occur, you can add the PowerPoint 4.0 clip
art to a new gallery. To do this, you need the following:
- For each category of PowerPoint 4.0 clip art, you must have three
corresponding files ending with .pcs, .idx, and .thm in the same
folder.
- An entry for each category in the [IMPORT] section of the
Artgalry.ini file located in your Windows folder.
To add the required files and create the required entries, run
PowerPoint 4.0 Setup to install the clip art.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To install the clip art from PowerPoint 4.0 Setup:
1. Run Setup.
2. For installation type, click Complete/Custom.
3. Clear the check box for all components except the Clip Art Files.
The cleared items are not installed.
When you clear Microsoft PowerPoint Program Files, the following
message appears:
This component is a vital part of this application.
If it is not installed, this application will not
run correctly.
Ignore this message and click OK.
4. Once you have only the Clip Art Files option selected, click
continue.
5. PowerPoint 4.0 Setup installs only the necessary clip art files
to your system.
6. The next time you run the ClipArt Gallery, you should be prompted
to Add New Pictures
If you already have the necessary files on your computer or network,
you may create entries in the Artgalry.ini file. When you start the
ClipArt Gallery, it reads those entries and loads the images.
1. Locate the Artgalry.ini file in your Windows folder.
2. Double-click Artgalry.ini to open it in Notepad. If you do not have
an Artgalry.ini file, you may create one using Notepad.
3. Search for [IMPORT] in the file. If this section does not exist,
type "[IMPORT]" (without the quotation marks) on a new line.
4. Below [IMPORT], include one line for each ClipArt Gallery category
as follows
File1=<path>,<category>.idx,<category>.thm, PowerPoint <desc.>
where <path> is the full path including the drive letter to the idx
and thm files for the category; <category> is the file name of those
two files; and <desc.> is the description of the category as it
appears in the ClipArt Gallery. Increment File1 so that the second
line reads File2=, the third line reads File3=, and so forth.
5. Close the Artgalry.ini and save it to your Windows folder.
6. When you run ClipArt Gallery next, it prompts you to add the
new pictures.
If you install PowerPoint 4.0 clip art to the default directories,
the entries that Setup writes to the Artgalry.ini file are included
below for reference:
