MS Design Gallery Live
Antony
from the on-line Design Gallery Live. Although I work
from within Word to access the clip art, and although
my download window shows activity, no mpf files
show up in the "favorites" file--where they should be.
My peers have similar problems on their Windows
version of Word (for CIL files).

But if the XP Office retains cross-platform compatibility, should not you be

You didn't say what version of Office you are using on the Mac. If you are
using Office 2001 or earlier the following information may not apply.
This is a quote from the ReadMe for Office X:
6.2 Associating Downloaded Clips with Clip Gallery
If you install Office in a folder other than the Applications folder, files
that you download from Design Gallery Live might not automatically open in
Microsoft Clip Gallery. To fix this problem, you can associate downloaded
clips (.cil files) with Clip Gallery in the Finder. Before you start the
following steps, download a clip from Design Gallery Live ( Insert menu,
Picture submenu, Clip Art command, Online button).
Associate Downloaded Clips
1. Use the Finder to locate and select the downloaded clip.
2. In the Finder, click Show Info on the File menu.
3. In the File Name Info window, click Open with application on the pop-up
menu below the file name.
4. Click the button below the pop-up menu, and then click Other on the list
that appears.
5. Find and select the Microsoft Clip Gallery program in the Microsoft
Office X/Office folder.
6. Click Add.
7. Close the File Name Info window.
