Thumbnail Image Doesn't Appear on Expected Gallery Page

 Last reviewed: January 30, 1998
Article ID: Q162176

The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Clip Gallery for Windows 95, version 3.0
  • Microsoft Office 97 for Windows
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows
  • Microsoft Publisher 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you add clips to the Clip Gallery, by choosing Import Clips on the Clip Gallery window, you can't control which page (tab) the thumbnail appears on. For example, if you are currently viewing the Clip Art page and you insert a clip for a graphic with an .bmp extension, the thumbnail appears on the Pictures page.

CAUSE

This is by design. Clip Gallery uses the term "clip art" to refer to any vector-based graphic and places thumbnails for these files on the Clip Art page. Clip Gallery uses the term "picture" to refer to any raster-based graphics and places those thumbnails in the Picture page.

MORE INFORMATION

Following is a list of graphic formats and whether they are vector-based or raster-based: (NOTE: this is not a complete list of graphic formats)
