Insert a picture from the Clip Organizer - 30 Oct 2007

The Clip Organizer is Microsoft Office's media manager. In it, you can create an index of pictures, sound files, and videos. The clips can be organized into categories and indexed with keywords. Media that is in the Clip Organizer then becomes easier to manage and locate. Rather than having to search your hard disk or a network drive for a media file, you can simply enter some keywords and search the Clip Organizer, or browse its categories.

To insert a picture from the Clip Organizer:

  1. Position the insertion point where you want the picture to appear in the document.
  2. Choose Insert → Picture ? ClipArt.

    or

    click the Insert Clip Art button. Insert Clip Art
