PPT2000: Double-Clicking on Clip Image in Clip Art Placeholder Does not Ungroup image (226632)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2000
This article was previously published under Q226632 SYMPTOMS
If you double-click a Clip image in the Clip Art placeholder on either the Text & Clip Art or Clip Art & Text layouts, no results are seen. You are not prompted to convert the clip image to PowerPoint drawing objects.
WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, ungroup a Clip image that is inserted into the Clip Art placeholder. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click the clip image, and click Edit Picture.
- You will receive the following message:
"This is an imported picture, not a group. Convert it to a Microsoft Office drawing?"
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. MORE INFORMATION
This behavior differs from prior versions of Office in that once you insert a clip image into any Office application, it is treated as an imported picture, rather than as a Clip Gallery Clip image.
This behavior improves performance and allows for new features with Microsoft Clip Gallery.
