burkec@mark-ed.com - 20 Jul 2006 19:41 GMT
I'm running PowerPoint 2004 for Mac on my iMac G-5 running OS 10.4.7. I
was using PowerPoint 2003 on a Windows machine and was happy with the
amount of clip art available. On the Mac side, there is very limited
clip art. Is there a way to increase the clip art without having to
create new categories, importing graphics into them, and creating key
words for searching? This would take an incredable amount of time doing
this one graphic at a time. Is it possible to import the entire clipart
library from the PowerPoint 2003 for Windows? I've also downloaded
clipart from the Microsoft website with mixed results. Some clipart
shows up as a box with an X in it when viewed on a PC. Our presentaions
have to be cross-platform. Are there any suggestions? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

     About viewing sound and motion clips on a Macintosh computer
     If you're using a Macintosh computer, you won't be able to see sound
and motion clips when you start Clip Gallery from Microsoft Word for
Macintosh or Microsoft Excel for Macintosh. You can only view sound and
motion clips when you start Clip Gallery from Microsoft PowerPoint® for
Macintosh.

     You cannot preview sound clips in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5
Macintosh Edition. If you try to preview a sound clip, you might see a
message that says that active scripting is not supported by Internet
Explorer 5. You can dismiss the message to open the preview window, but the
preview will not play. However, you can still search for and download sound
clips.
