Win2K. Office2K, full install by OEM. End user attempts to insert clip art from gallery... askes for CD-ROM or appropriate installation media/path. Shouldn't Clip Art BE THERE from full install by OEM? Have a copy of Office2K on cd-rom but don't fancy giving out copies and/or reinstalling on 600 computers. Is it seeking the 2nd cd-rom in the set? If so, what is the best method for permanently installing clip art to HDD?
Thanks, as always, for the help!

The majority of the Clip Art an Galleries should be on the second CD. You shoud be able to install or copy it to common network share on your server. Then map a drive or create a shortcut to it from the users computer.

Since you don't want to reinstall it's a bit of a problem. Also you indicated that you don't want to hand out CDs and perhaps your end users are not savy enough to manage the install on their own.

If the users have IE as their browser, they can very easily download all the clipart they want from Microsoft and it goes straight into their own clipart gallery.

In Word, when they go to Insert, Picture, Clip Art, they need to select Online Clips, or the equivalent depending on the version of Word.

I would "sell" this to the users as a far better deal since they get to search from a far larger selection and choose what they want. ;-)

Good luck, I hate those optional bits on the install.

Browsing to the Live Clip Art gallery is not a viable option. Too cumbersome to explain and train the end-user. They want simple and straight forward.

Thanks anyway for the ideas.
