Location of downloaed clipart

Is there a way to change the default location of downloaded clipart in
Office XP? I would like to make it a shared location is that possible?

XP SP3 introduced a new key. See
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;827672

However, your goal of "shared" might not be met by this. This will put the
clips anywhere you want them, but they will not appear in other users' Clip
Organizers.

Would they be able to import into the organizer from this location? If so,
how?

Thanks again for your help.

try an installation point

They could import using the "File | Add clips to organizer | On my own" menu
command. However, these clips would not have the keywords that are included
only in the .MPF

Can you elaborate more on what scenario you're trying to achieve?

Thanks again for your help.

Our client would like to have a "central" point for all downloaded clipart
from the MS Office Online. So that if one person gets a clip it can be
available to others.

One more question, when a user searches clip art and includes Web
Collection - where does that search?

What would be nice is if they could all share the same organizer, but that
is probally not possible is it?

Thanks again for all your help.

Ah. This scenario is not presently supported. You can create a "Shared
Collection" to share an existing group of clips with multiple people, but
it's a real pain to add to the shared collection later.

Collection - where does that search?

It searches the ~150000 clips which are online at
http://office.microsoft.com/clipart

Not really, no.

Sorry!

So they don't need to download items from clips online? Our customer is
currently going out to http://office.microsoft.com/clipart and adding itmes
to the basket to be downloaded. These are the downloded items they want to
"share". Are you saying that everyone already has those clips in their
orgainzer?

If that is that case do they need to go to clips online and add to the
basket to get clips?

Thanks again.

Clip Organizer will search the website directly without using the browser so
long as the "Web collections" item is checked in the dropdown box labelled
"Search in".

The computer must be connected to the internet for the web collections
feature to work.
