SYMPTOMS

  2. Click Browse, select the WMF file, and then click Open.
NOTE: Office 97 clipart is installed in the \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Clipart folder by default.

MORE INFORMATION

The most common image file formats for use on the Web are Graphics InterChange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPG). Although some Web browsers do support some additional graphics formats, formats such as WMF are not widely supported. To ensure that visitors to your site can view your images, you should avoid using non-supported images on your Web pages.
