Good morning. This message concerns difficulties I am having using the
Microsoft Clip art gallery, version 3.0 which is part of MS Office 97 with
JFW 3.2.31. I wrote to you previously that I could not insert Clipart into
MS PowerPoint version 7, that PowerPoint said, "PowerPoint has encountered
an error it can't correct."
Your response to me encouraged me to re-install JFW 3.2 from the CD to
see if doing so would replicate the problem. The same problem occurred when
using JFW 3.2 while creating a new presentation and attempting to inserting
Clipart into a new slide using the text and clipart layout.
Here is what I have done to address the problem.
* Ran Clip Art gallery from Word Pad and MS Word, inserting Clip Art
into a blank document still crashes the system.
* Renamed the artgalry.cag clipart database file to artgalry.old, restarted
clipart gallery which makes a new artgalry.cag file as instructed by the MS
Knowledge base.
* Started the Artgalry.exe file from the MS Office 97 CD-rom, the clip art
gallery gives a message that the gallery is now configured to run on my
system. I ran the Clipart gallery from Wordpad and MS PowerPoint again,
this time because I had previously ran it from the CD, the Clipart gallery
ran from there. When inserting Clipart again, it crashes.
* The precise moment when it crashes is relevant. When inserting
clipart in Wordpad, one chooses insert/insert object from the menu bar.
Arrow down to hear Microsoft Clipart gallery object, press enter or okay.
the dialog box now reads the list of clipart categories with the number of
items available. I press tab to hear find, help, okay. Press tab again to
arrow through the clipart titles. This is what worked with the older
versions of PowerPoint, each time I try to see if it works with the newer
version to tell me the description of an individual clipart file, it
crashes. Turning the echo to all command via insert-s allows one to hear
the names of the clipart as you arrow through them. This worked nicely with
older versions of PowerPoint and other programs before I upgraded to JFW 3.2
and Office 97.
I do not know whether this same problem occurs with JFW 2.29 with Office
97, or if it occurs using MS Office 4.3 with JFW 2.29 or 3.2.
What I do know is that either JFW or MS Clipart gallery are conflicting.
I do not have sighted assistance at the moment to verify whether closing
down JFW and running the Clipart gallery causes the same error. If I can
arrange this, I will report to you accordingly.
I have presentations I must design for my job that must utilize Clipart.
Consequently, if you could assist me in this matter it would be most
appreciated.
Should you wish to discuss or verify any of the above information,
please e-mail me or call me at (716) 436-9813 (home), or at work at (716)
347-9198.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely:
