Downloading clip art from the Microsoft Internet Clip Art Gallery works
fine, it opens Clip Art Gallery, imports, but then there's an 'error in
importingŠ' Anyone?

More: Is it the .wmf extension, Window Media File, that a mac doesn't know
how to deal with? But in the read me file that comes with Office v. X it
seems as it should be able to download from the internet Clip Art
Gallery????

More & more ;-) It says: an error occurred during conversion. Have anyone
experienced this, and do they know how to correct it?

Hi David:

I suspect there were two issues here: the first is that you did not have the
Clip Gallery installed. The second is that you did not have the CAG
converter installed.

Both were fixed when you did a full install from the Value Pack.

I am guessing that problem would have been the "CAG" (Clip Art Gallery)
format, not WMF (Windows Meta File) which any Mac software can handle.

Hope this helps
